This is the moment a massive fireball erupted from a 150-year-old oil refinery in south Philadelphia when a vat of butane exploded early Friday — in a spectacle that could be seen from miles away and felt as far as South Jersey, according to reports.

The blaze began at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions Refining Complex shortly after 4:20 a.m., according to police.

Workers were on site at the time, but were far enough away to avoid serious harm, authorities told NBC Philadelphia.

Video captured by Twitter user @nicetownbean showed the flames billowing from the complex, and then exploding into massive clouds of fire and smoke that turned the pre-dawn sky orange.

The flames went “hundreds of feet in the air,” one officer could be heard saying on video posted to the Citizen App.

Another Twitter user in Cherry Hill, NJ, said the explosion “rattled” his home.

Others reported debris raining down on their properties and pieces of artwork being knocked off their walls, according to the NBC report.

Deputy Fire Commissioner Craig Murphy told the outlet a vat of butane had ignited and eventually exploded — and that a series of small explosions occurred as the fire spread through multiple pipes carrying fuel throughout the complex.

The fire caused temporary closures of Interstates 76 and 95. The Platt Bridge was temporary closed as first responders swarmed the scene, but was reopened just before 6 a.m.

Though the area is heavily populated, there were no evacuations, according to the report.

The refinery opened in 1866, just a year after the Civil War ended.

“The PES Philadelphia Refining Complex has been ‘part of the neighborhood’ in South Philadelphia for over 150 years and is closely tied to the growth of the American oil industry in the 19th century,” its website said.
