A team of 32 firefighters in northern Iraq was battling to put out a massive fire on Thursday, a day after it broke out at an oil refinery.

14 firefighters were injured — four with burns and the other due to smoke inhalation — while battling the blaze, which also destroyed four fire engines.

Officials said the cause of the fire was not yet clear but the facility appeared to be lacking in safety measures, including alarms. AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
