Cepsa oil refinery in Huelva up in flames: two dead, two severely injured

(Photo: Diario de Sevilla) Fire broke out at 12.45pm yesterday at the Cepsa oil refinery in Huelva, similar to that in San Roque. There are two dead, and two severely burned, both of whom are 'on the way to recovery'. The fire, according to sources in Huelva, could have been caused by a truck hitting a fuel deposit, but the matter is still under investigation. The La Rábida refinery is located at Palos de la Frontera, only a couple of kilometres South of the capital, Huelva. The Junta's Department of the Environment said there was no danger from toxic fumes.
