live updates from : http://blogs.kqed.org/newsfix/2012/08/06/chevron-refinery-fire-shelter-in-place-for-richmond-north-richmond-and-san-pablo-residents/

Update, 8:45 p.m.: Richmond, El Cerrito, El Cerrito del Norte and North Berkeley BART stations are closed again. ABC and KGO report that there are no tolls being collected on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.

8:35 p.m.: The shelter in place order has been expanded to El Cerrito. The Kaiser facility in Richmond is also under lockdown.

Contra Costa Public Health Services says that a diesel-like combustible liquid is burning at the refinery. They advise that you should shelter in place if you can smell the smoke, even if you are not in an area with a shelter in place order.

OAKLAND ADVISORY NOW.
