Crude oil spill causes NE China blaze (2/4)

Foams used to dilute crude oil spread all over the road after a crude oil spill from a pipeline of PetroChina, the country's largest oil and gas producer, caused a huge fire in Dalian, a coastal city in northeast China's Liaoning Province, July 1, 2014. The oil pipeline near Dalian University in Jinzhou New District was damaged and oil leaked due to the drilling operation of a local construction engineering company on Monday evening. The spill flew into the urban sewage pipeline network and fire broke out at the exit of the urban pipelines. Residents nearby were evacuated and no casualties were reported. (Xinhua)
