Updates to say fire extinguished
May 5 (Reuters) - A fire that broke out at Valero's 145,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Benicia, California, has been extinguished, the company said on Monday.
"All personnel are accounted for and there are no injuries. The cause of the incident is under investigation," the company added in an emailed statement.
Valero said that they continue to coordinate with state and local authorities.
Earlier in the day, before the fire was extinguished, Benicia Fire Department said that the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and Solano Public Health were deploying portable air monitors in nearby communities to test for potential pollution.
In April , Valero Energy VLO.N announced it would cease operations at its San Francisco-area oil refinery next year amid worries about California's declining fuel supplies and high gasoline prices.
