Fire has broken out at the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula. It happened about 2:15 this afternoon in a processing area of the plant.

Plant officials say this is a significant fire, but no injuries have been reported. Officials say there is no danger to the community, but an evacuation of the plant is a possibility.

They believe that hydrocarbon gasoline is what is burning right now, and emergency officials have responded to the scene. Smoke can be seen for several miles and, at one time, flames were reported shooting as high as nearby tree tops.
