Description: Skagit County Fire is responding to reports of a possible explosion at an oil refinery in Anacortes. Airlift Northwest confirms it is sending three helicopters to Anacortes for a refinery explosion. Several people have called KING 5 News about hearing or feeling an explosion. One caller, Jason Chinchen, says he lives three to four miles away from the refinery and felt his windows shake. Chinchen said immediately after, there was a noise that sounded like a jet flying overhead, a kind of loud wind. Chinchen took some pictures and video of the refinery in the distance. The pictures show what appears to be the glow of flames at the facility.
