DEER PARK, Texas — Emergency crews in Texas are working to control a large fire burning at a Houston-area petrochemicals terminal that has spread to eight storage tanks.at Intercontinental Terminals Company in Deer Park, about 15 miles southeast of Houston. ITC says the risk of explosion is “minimal” and no injuries have been reported.
The company said Monday morning that the fire has spread to a tank that contains a chemical used in nail polish remover, glues and paint thinner. Earlier, the fire spread to separate tanks that contained petrochemical liquids and gases, including fuel oil and bunker oil. Early Monday, Deer Park lifted its shelter-in-place order for residents but school was canceled Monday in the city.
Risk of air and water pollution, well, already massive, so 🤷♀️
'Minimal' loss that insurance will cover. People don't matter.
Bit don't they always?
😬
mea_mark Toxic pollution is constant.
Earlier, the fire spread to separate tanks that contained petrochemical liquids and gases, including fuel oil and bunker oil... Right, low explosion risk.
Let's hear it for lack of regulations in Texas!!
That’s just great. Texas has such lax standards that the air quality is that of a 3rd world nation to begin with
wrath of GOD
Awww! I hope no Trump supporters at that plant lose their jobs.
Thank God GregAbbott_TX made sure that the chemical company has more rights than the civilians living around the plant. If the damned thing explodes and kills some people, heaven forbid they be held responsible.
