BREAKING: Two #fossilfuel storage tanks have exploded at #NuStar, a tank farm next to the #Phillips66 refinery near #Crockett & #Rodeo in the #BayArea. No reported casualties, according to @KTVU. The explosion likely caused an adjacent brush fire. ktvu.com/news/fire-at-c…
@KTVU Our thoughts are with #firstresponders and community members in the #EastBay as a shelter in place has been ordered. Stay safe and don't go outdoors until the order is lifted. Check the latest on the @CCCounty Community Warning System here: cwsalerts.com
@KTVU @CCCounty A situation like today's #NuStar tank farm explosion in #EastBay is exactly why we must put a stop to the expansion of #fossilfuel infrastructure in the #BayArea and around the world. Learn more about the movement to #ProtectTheBay: protectthebay.org
@KTVU @CCCounty Every day, refinery communities like #Crockett #Rodeo #Benicia #Richmond #Martinez #EastBay face chronic air pollution, risks of toxic explosions, and oil spills. These are the people on the frontlines of the #fossilfuel #climate fight. #ProtectTheBay
@KTVU @CCCounty Directly next door to the #NuStar tank farm fire in the #BayArea is the #Phillips66 refinery, which is planning a major expansion to bring in more #oiltankers, dredge the #SFBay, and refine more #crudeoil like Canadian #tarsands. But there's a growing movement to #ProtectTheBay.
@KTVU @CCCounty #EastBay communities are speaking out about the #Phillips66 refinery expansion proposed in their backyards. Today's tank farm fire is an example of the dangers of expanding #fossilfuel infrastructure in the #BayArea. Join the fight to #ProtectTheBay: protectthebay.org/take-action
@KTVU @CCCounty It's time to say no to the refinery expansion at #Phillips66. The #BayArea #EastBay must stand together and demand that regulators at @baaqmd and @CCCounty reject permits. @supejohngioia
