Police & Community SafetyGovernance

In Plain English

A 2019 fire and explosion at the NuStar facility in Crockett destroyed 2 large storage tanks and forced highway closures and shelter-in-place orders. The incident was caused by an electrical fault. If approved, Richmond's industrial safety rules will match the county's updated requirements for tank terminals to prevent similar accidents.
