An explosion at a Marathon refinery plant in Grayville, La., injured one person Monday morning and air monitors have been deployed.
The plant, located in St. John the Baptist Parish, reported the explosion mid-morning. Crews on the scene brought a fire there under control and all contract workers have been accounted for.
“One contract worker sustained an injury and is currently being evaluated at a local healthcare facility as a precaution,” Jamal Kheiry, communications manager for Marathon, told WAFB-TV.
“Air monitoring has been deployed in the community, and local emergency responders have been notified. The safety of responders, employees, contractors, and the community are our top priority,” Kheiry said.
