Worst blaze in Cuba’s history finally under control at oil depot

Fire destroyed 40% of island's main fuel storage facility over five days and caused blackouts

Firefighters have finally overcame what officials described as the worst blaze in Cuba's history that over five days destroyed 40% of the Caribbean island's main fuel storage facility and caused blackouts.

Raging flames that ravaged a four-tank segment of the Matanzas super tanker port had died down on Tuesday and the towering plumes of thick black smoke streaming from the area were diminished and now mostly gray.
