Explosion at Husky refinery in Wisconsin, multiple injuries reported
A contractor who was inside the building told WDIO television that the explosion sounded like ?a sonic boom? and that it happened when crews were working on shutting the plant down for repairs.
Panger said the fire was out by 11:20 a.m. He said a small tank exploded, and the product was either crude oil or asphalt.
Superior police are advising people to stay away from the area and roads around the refinery have been blocked off. There have been no neighbourhood evacuations. Superior is a city of about 27,000 people that borders Minnesota to the north and the tip of Lake Superior.
No damage estimate was available. The Superior Fire Department sent all three engine companies to the explosion, and nearby Duluth sent over a command vehicle.
