A fire started at a fuel storage facility in Puerto Rico and finally after three days was put out. This fire caused many residents to have to leave their homes. The initial explosion shook the groung with the force of a 2.8 magnitude earthquake. Once firefighters eventually calmed the flames they estimated that seventeen tanks were lost or damaged in the fire. FBI agents found graffiti near the facility and are treating the incident as a crime scene. The loss is said to add up to 6.4 million dollars. The Puerto Rican governor said that the main concern was to deal with the air and water pollution caused by the fire. The oil loss will should not be an issue according to the governor.
