Fire shuts down Tesoro refinery production

All fuel production at the Tesoro Hawaii refinery in Campbell Industrial Park was halted late Saturday night after a fire broke out in a processing unit, a company spokesman said.

It was not immediately known how long the plant would be idled or what effect, if any, the shutdown would have on the fuel supply, Tesoro spokesman Nathan Hokama said.


The fire was reported about 10:30 p.m. Flames could be seen from one of the facility’s towers. Tesoro firefighting crews, assisted by Honolulu firefighters, had the fire out in less than two hours.
