ExxonMobil Baytown Refinery Fire Lawyers Stand Ready to Help Burn Injury Victims Recover

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Our thoughts are with the four people who were rushed to the hospital in the early hours of this morning due to an explosion in a Baytown refinery. ExxonMobil is reporting that four people were injured in the fire. The fire started at 1 AM in a plant that produces gasoline. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said three of the injured workers were taken to the hospital by Life Flight and another was taken by ambulance.
