Multiple Fires Break Out at Fertilizer Plant in Bartlett and Bell County

A fire broke out at the American Plant Food Corporation fertilizer plant in Bartlett, Texas, prompting multiple fire agencies to respond to the scene. The fire is contained but will remain active throughout the night due to the need for a different approach to extinguishing the chemical fire. Hazmat teams are on-site to address chemical spills, and evacuations have been carried out with assistance from local authorities. Highway 95 has reopened, but closures may occur again in the morning. Bartlett ISD has opened its facilities for evacuees, and the St. John Lutheran Church is also providing shelter.
