“I thought we got nuked or something,” Los Angeles resident Mike Rogers told The New York Post. Rogers, who had been playing in an adult soccer league nearby, said the match was canceled moments after the fire erupted due to heavy smoke blanketing the field.
Local officials confirmed the blaze was quickly contained to one section of the refinery. By the time of filing this report, no casualties had been reported and no evacuation orders had been issued.
In a statement released about half an hour after the fire began, El Segundo authorities said there was “no immediate threat to public safety.”

Chevron’s El Segundo refinery is the largest oil refinery on the U.S. West Coast, according to the company’s website.
The facility, in operation since 1911, is California’s second-largest oil refinery. Any disruption at the site has the potential to affect fuel supply in a region already known for some of the highest gas prices in the country.
Authorities have yet to disclose the cause of the fire. Chevron said it is working with local agencies to assess damage and monitor air quality. While officials emphasized there is no immediate danger, residents have been advised to remain alert in case conditions change.
Given the refinery’s scale and critical role in supplying fuel to the West Coast, state regulators are expected to closely examine the incident for potential safety and environmental implications.
