One Philadelphia firefighter suffered burns to his face on Monday morning while battling a blaze in a lube oil processing facility in the Port Richmond section of the city.
He was reported to be in good condition after initial treatment.
The fire broke out about 9:30am and burned for nearly an hour before being placed under control. A hazmat crew was called to the scene and the US Coast Guard was monitoring runoff into the Delaware River because of the chemical lubricants in the building.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
