Chevron on Wednesday said an isolated fire inside its 269,000-barrel-per-day El Segundo refinery in California was extinguished on Tuesday and did not occur at any of the facility’s major processes units.

Fire crews worked quickly to contain the fire which was extinguished at about 8:35 PM (0435 GMT), a company spokesperson said in an emailed response, adding that the fire does not impact the refinery’s ability to supply petroleum products to its customers in the region.
