SINGAPORE - Two workers are dead and another two sustained
injuries after a fire broke out Thursday at US oil giant
ExxonMobil's oil refinery in Singapore, the company said.
"The fire has since been put out. We regret that two people have
died and two others were injured as a result of the fire," the
company said in a statement.
The fire broke out at 1:15 am (1715 GMT) at the Pulau Ayer Chawan
plant, and was put out by the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the
company and police said.
An Exxon Mobil spokesman said the production at the refinery, which
has a daily crude refining capacity of 605,000 barrels, is not
affected.
"We continue to supply our customers," he told AFP.
