Sunoco fire extinguished; responses studied

The fire that accompanied Sunday night’s nerve-and-window-rattling explosion at the sprawling Sunoco refinery in Marcus Hook has finally been knocked down. Officials last night declared the fire out during their 10 o’clock briefing – nearly 24 hours after the first explosion rocked the facility and its neighbors.

Sunoco officials also said that they did not have a cause for the spectacular blaze, and were not certain when operations would return to normal.
