What's up with that fire?

What area are you in? There's a fire here in the harbor area that I think is located at a refinery. I haven't heard anything on the news about it, though.

Thats OK, as long as anything keeps Hollywood from making anti-American movies.

The new feel good mayor gets to handle a situation.

Fire footage is generally, during a power outage, of refineries burning off excess product for safety. Generally you can see these fires for miles. Remember when I was on the 110 and the power went out off the right side of the freeway and five minutes later a huge fire bloomed up - it was a refinery blowing off product from the cracking towers.
