TWO oil pipelines exploded yesterday evening in Dalian, a port city in northeast China's Liaoning Province and is still burning.
An explosion first hit a 0.9 meter-diameter oil pipeline at about 6:30pm and triggered an adjacent smaller pipeline to explode near Dalian Xingang Port.
The fire is still raging. No casualties has been reported.
Both pipelines, owned by China National Petroleum Corp, caught fire and more than 1,000 firefighters and 300 fire engines are working at the site.
Blaze of the larger pipeline has been extinguished by 11:30pm but more than 200 meters of the smaller one is still on fire as firefighters failed to turn off its oil pump.
Liaoning government is sending special jets to transport fire foam for the campaign.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao have issued instructions on fire-fighting work. Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang rushed to the spot to direct rescue work last night.
An oil tank that was unloading oil in the port when the blast broke out had left the scene unharmed.
The pipelines were links between oil ships and land tankers.
