An explosion shook the Zalaegerszeg refinery of Hungarian oil and gas
group MOL on Tuesday, the county's directorate for disaster management
told local news station MTI.
MTI learned that those living in the neighbourhood of the
refinery first heard a blast then they saw a column of smoke rising to
the sky above the plant. One of the containers of the refinery is still
blazing. Several fire engines are on the spot, trying to extinguish the
fire.
On 18 May this year, a 1,000-cubic- metre container filled
with bitumen burst into flame at Zalaegerszeg refinery at dawn, when
its upper section cracked. Automatic emergency systems operated well and
the fire was soon extinguished by local staff. There were no personal
injuries, and the fire has been extinguished.
The value of the damage exceeded HUF 10 m, MOL said on its website.
