Was watching it on MSNBC. Very bad fire, and unfortunately they are saying there are injuries.

:lol: I am actually a Fox News watcher, but MSNBC seems to have better coverage some times on things like fires and other disasters.

There has been an explosion at Valley Solvent Chemical Plant at 2571 N.E. 33rd. This facility does have stored chemicals. At this time, the exact chemicals have not been identified.


I work about 5 miles south down I-35 from the fire, the entire northern sky is dark from the smoke and you see the explosions as they happen.

5 alarm fire right now, surrounding schools are being evac for health reasons.
