37 workers have been injured in a fire at Exxon Mobil Corp's Baytown, Texas, refining and chemical plant complex. The fire was brought under control, as per Reuters. None of the 37 have been seriously injured and are being treated for minor burns, and none have required hospitalization, plant manager Jason Duncan told a news briefing. The company worked to shut down the olefins unit that processes propane and propylene and to isolate the fuel that fed the fire, he said.
