A fire broke
out on Monday at a sulfur storage tank in Iran's Isfahan oil refinery, injuring
around 10 workers, the refining company's spokesman was quoted as saying
by
state television.
"Due to
the high temperature, some sulfur caught fire, but it was soon extinguished...
Around ten workers were suffering from respiratory problems caused by smoke and
were treated at the scene," Mohammad Sadeq Hajian, spokesman for the
Isfahan Oil Refining Company said.
Hajian
denied earlier reports by some Iranian media outlets that around 100 workers at
the refinery in central Iran had been injured.
An official
at the refinery's fire department told Reuters that the incident was small and
did not affect the plant's production.
