Though the terminal is the country?s fifth largest, no serious disruption to gasoline supplies is expected as emergency plans to draw from other depots kick in. Fire chiefs said they had extinguished a fire at a nearby warehouse caused by the explosion, but were waiting to assemble enough equipment and foam from nearby districts before tackling the main blaze-which may not be controllable until it burns itself out.
