HOUSTON, Oct 19 (Reuters) – Operations were normal at Shell Oil Co’s 145,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery in Anacortes, Washington, after a Friday afternoon fire at a giant storage tank, a spokesman said.
Three firefighters suffered minor injuries, said Shell’s Brian Sibley. Two firefighters sustained abrasions and one had a small cut. All received first aid at the scene.
Sibley declined to say what substance was in the tank when the fire broke out.
The fire was quickly put out, he said.
West Coast refined products traders said prices briefly rose 2 cents per gallon on unleaded gasoline in spot markets in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, at word of the fire.
Prices fell back to previous levels once news was received the fire was at a storage tank and did not affect production units at the refinery located along Washington’s Puget Sound.
Shell Oil Co is the U.S. unit of Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research).

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
