Fawley Refinery to Flare Again – No Cause for Alarm

Hampshire Fire and Rescue has issued a heads-up: Fawley Refinery will be flaring again over the next few days and nights. They want locals to know it’s all safe and there’s no need to panic.

Why the Flaring?

Flaring is a standard, safe process where the refinery burns off excess gases. It helps keep operations smooth and prevents any dangerous build-up.

What Residents Can Expect

  • An orange glow visible over the area, especially at night.
  • Possible increase in calls to emergency services, so officials want people to stay calm and informed.

“Fawley will be flaring again for the next couple of days and overnight – Please be aware that this may create an orange glow over the area,” Hampshire Fire and Rescue confirmed.

So if you spot the fiery light in the sky, don’t worry – it’s just Fawley doing its safety bit.
