Firefighters are on the scene of a major fire at a tank farm at 516 S 25th W Ave.

Firefighters said that Charles Page Boulevard between South Gilcrease Museum Road and South 33rd West Avenue is shut down. Black smoke could be seen pouring out of the site for several miles early Tuesday morning.

A representative with TFD said that they are trying to determine what exactly is on fire. Employees of Axel Royal in the area told first responders that it likely started around the petroleum tank farm. Axel Royal manufactures hundreds of different types of lubricating oils and greases, according to its company website.

Drivers are asked to find alternate routes of travel as firefighters work to get the fire under control. TFD said that hazmat crews are on the scene and that they are asking citizens to stay clear of the area.
