Two people were injured by a weekend fire at Suncor Energy’s 103,000 barrel-per-day Commerce City, Colorado, refinery, the company said.
“We immediately initiated our response plan and evacuated all non-essential personnel from the area. The fire was extinguished, and everyone has been accounted for,” Suncor said in a statement dated Dec. 24, the day of the fire.
Suncor said on Tuesday that the incident occurred during the shut-down of Plant 2, which began on Saturday, Dec. 24, and is in the process of being completed.
