FERNDALE, Wash. — A flaring event at the Phillips 66 Refinery in Ferndale had some neighbors concerned on Sunday.

The refinery’s Public Affairs Director, Josh Summers, says a power disruption caused the facility’s safety system to activate to place all refinery units in a safe state.

That caused the flare-up and loud noises that accompanied it.

Summers says there were no injuries or shelter in place calls and air monitoring found no off-site impacts.
