Fire at Cheyenne refinery, nobody hurt

Posted 1/18/13

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — An equipment leak is being blamed for a fire at the HollyFrontier oil refinery in Cheyenne.

Nobody was hurt in the fire Wednesday afternoon. A HollyFrontier statement says the cause was a leaky piece of equipment next to the refinery's delayed coker unit.

Finley says the fire burned for nearly two hours while the refinery's fire brigade worked to cool the equipment and isolate the flames.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports Cheyenne Fire and Rescue also sent trucks and firefighters to the scene.
