A sulfur tank exploded Friday at the largest oil refinery in California, sending a chemical cloud into the air and causing a fire, authorities said. No injuries were reported.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the blast at the Tesoro refinery in Wilmington near Long Beach.

Everyone near the scene was accounted for, Singleton said.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department sent in a hazardous materials team.

No evacuations were ordered but the Sheriff’s Department urged people within a quarter-mile of the scene to stay indoors.
