Major fire at oil refinery in Australia

A major fire at Viva Energy's oil refinery in Geelong has raised concerns about fuel supplies, as the site produces 50% of Victoria's and 10% of Australia's fuel. The fire, caused by equipment failure, led to multiple explosions but resulted in no injuries. Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen noted the fire will likely impact fuel production, stating, "I'm sure petrol production will continue, but it may be impacted for some time." Fire crews extinguished the blaze, and investigations are underway. Local residents reported loud explosions and a bright sky. The refinery's operations will be assessed for safety before resuming full production.
