WATCH: Shocking footage shows massive fire at oil facility in Cuba

A deadly fire that began at a large oil storage facility in western Cuba has spread after flames enveloped a third tank that firefighters had tried to cool as they struggled to fight the massive blaze.

At least one person has died, and 125 others are injured.

The fire was caused by a lightning strike hitting one of the facility's eight tanks last week – causing a second tank to catch fire the following day.

The facility is a vital part of Cuba's electric system – worsening current fuel shortages.
