Emergency crews are responding to a major storage tank fire near Highway 75 and West 126th Street in Glenpool, just south of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Multiple large storage tanks have been reported involved, with dramatic flames and a massive smoke plume visible for miles.
Evacuations have been ordered in areas near the tank farm as firefighters work the scene and authorities restrict access around nearby roads. Glenpool Public Schools have also been reported sheltering in place as officials monitor the fire, smoke and potential hazards surrounding the industrial facility.
Early reports and video from the scene show at least two tanks involved. There are also reports that lightning may have played a role in starting the fire, although the exact cause and the specific material burning should be treated as developing until authorities provide full confirmation. Glenpool has experienced major storage tank fires in the past, including previous incidents involving petroleum storage facilities.
The fire is drawing attention across Glenpool, Jenks, Tulsa County and the greater Tulsa metro because of the enormous black smoke plume and the proximity of the facility to U.S. Highway 75.
