 April 26, 2018, the Husky Energy Refinery in Superior, Wisconsin. At approximately 10 AM, a large explosion occurred in the refinery's fluid catalytic cracking and gas concentration unit. Debris from the explosion was thrown in all directions. One piece flew about 200 feet and hit a large, above ground asphalt storage tank, puncturing the side of the tank and releasing hot asphalt. Asphalt from the tank spread along the ground and into the refinery's units. Initial small fires from the explosion were extinguished quickly by emergency responders from the refinery's emergency response team. Members of the City of Superior's Fire Department, which has a strategic partnership with the refinery, also responded to the incident. Captain. And that's when that secondary asphalt fire had started. The large asphalt fire ignited near the storage tanks and traveled along the stream of asphalt to the refinery's crude and fluid catalytic cracking units. Typically, this type of asphalt fire can burn for days. In this case, also because of the amount of asphalt in our way to get there. And so they could easily have gone on two to three, maybe even five days. But we really wanted to at least try to make an attempt. A plan was developed. And around 3 PM, emergency responders from both the refinery emergency response team and the Superior Fire Department began to address the asphalt fire. A fire truck drove to the edge of the crude unit. And emergency responders sprayed dry chemical fire extinguisher inside. Responders also used two stationary hoses called monitors to shoot water into the crude unit in an attempt to extinguish the flames. While these fires were being put out over by the storage tanks, emergency responders began to approach the large area of burning asphalt. The plan was to push the asphalt into an empty area near the storage tanks and then aggressively attack the fire from multiple directions. First, they used two monitors, one to the north and another to the west to sweep water to push the asphalt fire toward the designated containment area. Then when the fires within the refineries units had been extinguished, the fire truck relocated so that it could spray the burning asphalt in the containment area with foam from the east. Around 5 30 PM, an additional team began to attack the fire from the south, spraying foam from a monitor. At this point, the asphalt fire was completely surrounded within the containment area. With the fire contained, emergency responders were able to put out the asphalt fire around 7 PM. The massive asphalt fire had been extinguished in a matter of hours, as opposed to days, as had been initially feared. So as Rift Wars streams do what they were supposed to do and keep the foam where we needed it, and that was on the fire and a product to put it out. For us on the Greater Storm, the whole time where it's very dark, very little sunlight, but noticing when the fire body knocked down, we could look up and see the sun again and how bright it got. He believes the partnership between the Superior Fire Department and the refinery helped his team better respond to the incident. We're a municipal fire department. We all go to school and get our training in fighting structure fires. But we've got the petroleum sector that's here. So it allows us to have specialized equipment that we only use, and then it allows us to train on using that equipment that's only going to be used. The partnership is funded by three petroleum sector businesses in the superior community, including the refinery, that can call on the municipal fire department for mutual aid in the event of an emergency. There's a saying that because of the longevity of the event, it proved to be such a benefit to have people to assist, but also people that were trained to do what we do and be able to be a part of that solution. Through our partner responsibilities, to be able to fit into our roles and be able to do that seamlessly. But truthfully, after having been through it, not that I want to do it again, but there's things that I certainly would appreciate from this particular fire. And that's just the training, having that mutual aid agreement, trusting in those guys.
