What happened

A fire broke out at the Oxin Palayesh mini-refinery in the Sarab Hammam industrial town near Poldokhtar shortly after 5 p.m. on Friday 10 July. Reuters, citing Iranian state and semi-official media, reported that intense flames and flammable material initially hampered firefighters. The blaze was contained after roughly seven hours and remained limited to an area holding waste-oil barrels and secondary storage; local officials said it did not reach the refinery's main facilities or storage tanks. No deaths or injuries were reported. Preliminary accounts placed the origin in the industrial unit's raw-materials or waste-storage area, but the cause remained under investigation. The date is 10 July; 11 July is the publication date of the Reuters account carried by Arab News.
