Details regarding the ignition of the fire were sparse, but the fire department urged the public to steer clear of the area, to ensure safety and to facilitate the unimpeded navigation of heavy equipment.
While the fire was being subdued, its impact reverberated beyond the charred walls. The incident drew onlookers, some of whom were residents displaced by the sweeping smog and heat. As a glimpse into the chaos, FOX26 Houston reported no injuries.
The spread of the fire was successfully contained. The cause of the fire remains a subject of investigation.
