A fire at an oil refinery in Whangārei has been extinguished. The Marsden Point oil refinery at North Port is New Zealand’s only oil refinery. Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s assistant area commander for Whangārei and Kaipara, Graeme Quensell, told
Stuff this morning that the fire was “under control” but said he was unable to give further details. FENZ’s website shows the fire was attended to at 7:06am this morning, but a spokeswoman directed enquiries to the refinery.
