LAWMAKERS CALL FOR HEARING ON REFINERY FIRES: RICHMOND (AP) — In the wake of a massive fire at Chevron's Richmond refinery, two lawmakers are calling for a state hearing to explore government efforts to prevent future blazes. Two state lawmakers on Thursday said the hearing is needed to figure out if additional legislation is needed to improve public safety. State Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, a Democrat from Berkeley, says that information that has emerged about the refinery fire shows that more public health protections are needed.
