Residents near a refining company in Lake Charles, Louisiana can breathe a sigh of relief as an evacuation order was lifted early Sunday. The fire, believed to have been sparked by lightning, broke out at a chemical storage tank in Calcasieu Refining during a storm on Saturday. Firefighters from multiple brigades worked tirelessly to extinguish the blaze, which involved a tank containing the volatile chemical naptha. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the fire was successfully put out by 4 a.m. The evacuation order was lifted at 6 a.m., although crews will remain on-site in the coming days to ensure public safety.
