By Ernest Scheyder
WILLISTON, N.D. (Reuters) - An Enbridge Inc crude oil
storage and pipeline facility just south of Williston, N.D., has caught
fire, eyewitnesses said.
The facility serves as a key gathering and distribution hub
for crude oil produced in North Dakota, the second-largest crude oil
producer in the United States.
It was not immediately clear if the blaze had been
contained. It was also not clear if the fire was affecting crude oil
storage tanks or other parts of the complex.
An Enbridge spokeswoman was not available to comment. A
representative from the Williston Fire Department said no information
was available to distribute.
