"The refinery, owned by Dallas-based Alon USA, employs about 170 people and produces about 70,000 barrels a day. Company spokesman Blake Lewis said he didn't know how many people might be at the plant at the time."
"Lewis said the company had an unconfirmed report of an incident but did not know any details. A plant manager was on the way to the site."
