300 Firefighters on the scene waiting for the situation to be assessed to know what they can do. They did swoop in as soon as the fire started and got the people out of the plant according to a truck driver who was asleep in his truck across from the plant and awakened by firefighters and escorted out of the area. A few minutes after the driver was escorted out of his truck where he had been sleeping he heard the explosions which were the barrels of material exploding and the smoke was moving south. He told the firefighters to take him north.
So far no reports of deaths. Several taken to hospital with respiratory problems and one is pretty serious.
They have evacuated 15,000 people so far.
