Fire destroys Oklahoma chemical plant, no injuries
I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed here today.
(Reuters) - A fire destroyed a chemical plant and caused small explosions near a western Oklahoma town, forcing the evacuation of about a dozen people from nearby homes, but resulting in no injuries, a county emergency management official said on Thursday.
The fire erupted about 10:00 p.m. CDT (0300 GMT) Wednesday at a Danlin Industries facility outside Thomas, Oklahoma, a city of 1,181 people about 90 miles northwest of Oklahoma City.
It started about three hours after the last employees left the facility, said Michael Galloway, director of emergency management for Custer County.
"The entire facility burned down," Galloway said, adding the fire had been extinguished by early Thursday.
