Fire at Unlicensed Fuel Storage in Asaluyeh Extinguished With No Deaths, Bushehr Official Says

Kourosh Dehghani, head of crisis management for Bushehr province, said firefighters from Asaluyeh and South Pars extinguished a fire at an unlicensed fuel storage site in Asaluyeh and that it caused no deaths. IRNA reported the statement, carried by Donya-e-Eqtesad on Friday, October 16, 2026 (24 Mehr 1405).

Local officials said initial reports pointed to diesel stored in several homes caught up in the blaze; the definitive cause and financial damage are still under investigation. The report of a fire being put out concerns an unlicensed store and does not say a refinery caught fire or that South Pars production stopped.
