OREGON, Ohio (AP) — Officials say an overnight fire at a northwest Ohio refinery was quickly contained.

The Blade newspaper (http://bit.ly/XlOrjs ) reports that an explosion triggered the blaze just before midnight Wednesday at the Toledo Refining Co. in Oregon.

The fire was reported in a unit that converts petroleum crude oils into gasoline, ethylene, and other products.

There were no injuries, and no air quality issues have been detected inside or outside the refinery.
