CaribWorldNews, SAN JUAN, Mon. Oct. 26, 2009: A fire that raged for two days at an oil storage depot outside San Juan, Puerto Rico is finally out.
Firefighters in Puerto Rico said they were finally able to extinguish the blaze late Saturday. The fire began early Friday morning following an explosion at the Caribbean Petroleum Corporation`s Bayamon facility.
