the bill owing black plumes could be seen for miles around benicia's valero refinery after a power outage cause the the plant to shut down and the flaring. >> this morning at about 6:45 we received notification from valero they had a sudden power outage and lost all power to the refinery and that they were flaring at that time. without a flare, you can't protect your equipment or your community. so as much as people might not want to see it, look at the flare. when it's going off, it's your friend. >> reporter: the flames and smoke prompted city officials to order evacuations in the industrial area immediately next to the plant. >> it kept getting worse and worse, then finally one of the guys got the benicia alert to evacuate. so, we all evacuated. >> reporter: workers at the refinery were also evacuated. two elementary schools, turner and simple, did not evacuate, but had the students who showed up shelter in place. >> the information was coming to

us, it was a challenge because parents are driving their kids to school and they're dropping them off. we want to get the clear information out to folks so parents can make a decision. >> reporter: the wind carried the thick black smoke up 1,000 feet and north and east blanketing the bay. epa local agencies sent teams out to monitor the pollutants in the air on the populated benicia side, including simple elementary levels were low. but on the industrial side. >> levels various times this morning it peaked up to ten times normal background. >> reporter: this is a live look at the same stack that was emitting all that flame and smoke throughout the day. as you can see, a great improvement here. basically they have been burning off through the petroleum product that was in those lines when the power went out. even though that outage lasted only 18 minutes, the effects since we have seen have lasted all day and we're told by valero

we can see flaring for the next several days though not at the level we've seen all day here today. in benicia, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> laura, thank you. laura mentioned that a power failure triggered the flaring at the refinery this morning. >> but we have also learned due to a shortfall in the back up system, this situation could easily happen again. abc7 news anchor kristen sze here with some history neighbors really need to know about. kristen? >> larry and alma, flaring may be a safety measure to burn off pollutants, but the sight of dramatic flames and black smoke is unnerving to neighbors so refineries do want to minimize these incidents. one of the key triggers of flaring is power failure. that's what happened this morning. it was a pg&e issue. due to transmission line work, it was feeding electricity to valero on just one line instead of the usual two. >> one of them was dee energized because they were working on it. and what should have happened was they could have switched from the energized one to the deenergized one so we would

continue to have uninterrupted power. >> abc7 news looked into the power plant to cover such emergencies. the refinery completed a cogeneration plant in 2002 and found this project description on the energy commission website. valero planned to sell any excess power on the open market. but it turns out the power is not enough due to several expansions at the refinery. so, the plant is still depending on pg&e for power. today's incident is just the latest challenge for valero. last september, after environmentalists protested, the city of benicia denied valero's request to build a rail terminal there to transport its crude by train. one thing is for certain, though. valero is a major player here. this picture is from their website. it's a key producer of california's clean burning fuel and makes 35% of northern california's asphalt. larry and alma? >> all right, thank you so much, kristen. cell phone viewers sent video into the abc7 news room showing their flare-up of the valero

plant. this video from victoria shows flames shooting up into the sky. this video shows the smoke filling the air. look at all that. share video of news happening where you live use #abc7 news now and we may use it here. >> an arrest in a high profile double murder case in sonoma county back in august of 2004, today the sheriff's office says this man, 38-year-old sean gallon of forestville is the person responsible f for the killings. accused of the shooting deaths of 22-year-old lyndsay cut shaul and her 26-year-old fiance jason allen. their bodies were found in their sleeping bags on a secluded beach near jenner. they were shot in the head, apparently at close range while they slept. gallon was a person of interest in the case back then, but he was never ruled out as a suspect. he is currently in custody, accused of murdering his brother where he was questioned again about the cut shaul/allen murders. >> he made statements to the detectives with new information and additional investigative
