What happened

A naphtha leak that began the previous evening ignited around two storage tanks at Marathon's Garyville refinery, producing a large plume of black smoke; a two-mile evacuation was ordered and lifted the same afternoon. The release and fire were contained to refinery property with no injuries reported, though reporting later noted the leak had been ongoing for about 15 hours before the evacuation order. This was an accidental industrial incident, not an attack.
