A late-night fire has broken out at a major oil refinery in Geelong, prompting an emergency response and warnings to nearby residents.
The blaze started shortly after 11pm (local time) at the facility, one of only two remaining refineries in Australia, which processes around 120,000 barrels of fuel per day and supplies roughly 10% of the country’s petrol, diesel, and jet fuel.
Fire Rescue Victoria deployed nine fire trucks to contain the incident, while authorities urged people in surrounding suburbs including Corio and Norlane to avoid the area and take precautions against smoke exposure.
No injuries have been reported, but early indications suggest the fire may have originated in a gas separator unit.
Crews remained on site into Thursday morning to monitor for any flare-ups, with the incident unfolding amid ongoing pressure on fuel supplies linked to global disruptions.

Wow the globalists are really trying to take Australia down aren’t they.
Zio-Globalists at work destroying more energy infrastructure???
Food warehouses and processing locations shutting down or burned to the ground..!
Watties is bailing out- perhaps theyknow that there will be NO FOOD TO PROCESS IN THE COMING MONTHS DUE TO OIL SHORTAGES?
Mossad creating a scalable disaster based on ’cause & effect’ via ‘making war via deception’ against Australia???
The Uni-Party in NZ is playing the population with oil forecasts that are continually changing, while ignoring becoming self-sufficiant energy-wise.
Hmmmmm…..interesting timing…..
Someone doesn’t want to waste a good crisis.
We all know who is behind this incredibly coincidental event
