Crews have successfully extinguished a significant fire that erupted at the Chevron oil refinery in El Segundo, sending large flames and plumes of smoke across the South Bay area. The incident, which began around 9 p.m. on Thursday, is now the subject of an active investigation to determine its cause.

Despite the dramatic visual impact, officials quickly assured the public there was no immediate threat. A Chevron spokesperson, Allison Cook, confirmed that all refinery personnel and contractors were accounted for, with no injuries reported from the blaze at the West Coast’s largest oil-producing site.

While the fire has been put out, the exact cause of Thursday’s extensive blaze remains unclear as authorities continue their probe into the incident.
