Fire extinguished at Marathon Detroit refinery

A fire on Saturday night at a Detroit crude oil refinery that forced the partial evacuation of the town of Melvindale, Michigan, has been extinguished, said a spokesman for the plant’s owner, Marathon Petroleum Corp. No injuries were reported at the refinery from the blaze in a tank containing wastewater from the refining process, said Marathon spokesman Shane Pochard. "We’re working with Melvindale police to return residents to their homes," Pochard said. "That has not yet been completed."
