A massive fire broke out on Thursday, February 23, at the Tuzandepetl oil storage facility in Ixhuatlán, Mexico. The facility is run by state oil and gas company, Pemex, in the eastern state of Veracruz. Three fires broke out across the day at different Pemex facilities – two in Mexico and one in Texas, USA – leaving five people dead and eight others injured.

All five bodies have since been recovered from the ashes of the Ixhuatlán facility. This is the largest such facility in Mexico.
