last weekend appears to be unintentional in nature, though its exact cause remains under investigation, the city's fire chief said Tuesday. The fire broke out around 12:20 p.m. Saturday near the Amports terminal at the base of a silo used for petroleum coke, also called petcoke, an oil refining byproduct, then spread along a conveyor belt to the dock, where it began burning alongside the underside of the pier.
Crews from multiple fire departments around the Bay Area responded to help put out the blaze, which wasn't extinguished until about 12:20 p.m. Sunday, city officials said.
