A tank containing 8,200 m³ of petrol additive caught fire about 1.00 am. It took 7 hours for the fire-fighters to put out the flames that rose as high as 30 m. The teams worked the entire weekend to drain the tank whose roof had been ripped off and the upper part severely damaged. The adjacent tanks were sprayed with fire-fighting foam throughout the rescue operations. Violent winds obstructed the work of the firemen. Three hundred people were evacuated. Lightning is responsible for the fire.
