VIDEO: The fire at Valero's west refinery did not produce any "offsite concerns," plant officials said in a news release Wednesday afternoon. The release also states that no injuries were reported. A black plume of smoke was seen in the air on Corpus Christi's Northwest side beginning at around 9:45 a.m. Shortly after, Valero officials confirmed a fire on its property to 3NEWS. CCFD fire chiefs -- including new department chief Brandon Wade -- made their way to the scene. While he also said no injuries had been reported to his department, one of CCFD's medic units was there as a precaution. Wade said Wednesday morning that four CCFD trucks and one of its HAZMAT companies were outside the Valero refinery, and a command post had been established.
