Thanks to Abhay Gujar for sending information on a major fire in a ship which was being loaded with gasoline in Germany. The article mentions the following:
"A police spokesman in the town of Lingen an der Ems, in the northwestern state of Lower Saxony, confirmed a series of massive explosions rocked the ship near an oil refinery on the Dortmund-Ems canal where the ship was being loaded late on Monday evening. A significant amount of fuel leaked out, with firefighters spending hours trying to tackle the blaze. Eventually, they brought the flames under control, preventing them from spreading to fully-loaded tankers nearby. All five crew members on the ship escaped the inferno, according to police, although one of the men suffered minor injuries".
