DEFIANCE, Ohio (WANE) — An area of southeast Defiance has been shut down due to an explosion at an oil refinery Wednesday afternoon.

The explosion happened at the Glycerin Traders oil refinery plant in southeast Defiance.

Around 4:15 p.m., the Defiance Police Department posted on Facebook warning residents to avoid the area of Columbia Street near Ottawa Avenue, Greenler Street and Sauers Avenue due to an “emergency situation.”

An employee at Clifford R. Hunt Inc., a business located across the street from the explosion, told WANE 15 he could feel the explosion from his office and could see flames at the oil refinery, but police never told him to evacuate the area.

—” a (price) explosion at the pump.”

So you were one of the guys that bought a glycerin-powered car?

Good luck!

Our borders have been wide open for the entire Biden administration. It’s amazing we aren’t experiencing a wave of sabotage. America has lots of enemies and those enemies finance proxies so they can maintain deniability. We have been lucky so far.

We have plenty enough domestic eco-terrorists. This might be one of the times it’s not the illegals’ fault.

—”Huh?”

ZERO motor fuel was lost in this refinery.

Maybe some was in the tank of a smoked vichical.

Glycerin Traders is a family-owned business that trades raw glycerin into reclaimed products.

I would recommend that you make cookies and sell them as an example of business operation. And when the price of sugar goes up, don’t increase the price of your present inventory of cookies. see how long you are in business in a catastrophic inflationary commie controlled economy.
