(Reuters) Imperial Oil notified local emergency officials of a fire on Monday at its 121-Mbpd refinery in Sarnia, Ontario, according to the city's fire department.
The fire started in a refinery sub station, according to a source familiar with the plant's operations. The potential impact to production is not currently known, the source said.
The company classified the fire as a "code 8," which means they are notifying local emergency officials but not requesting additional support, the fire department said.
Most, if not all, refineries maintain an in-house fire department.
