The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office said it is aware of the reignited fire and said it's at one of the same units from Friday. No injuries have been reported.
The fire first broke out in the olefins unit of a Shell plant at about 3 p.m. near the 5600 block of State Highway 225 on Friday. The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office believes it's the result of a leak, but the cause is still under investigation.
No shelter-in-place was issued by city and school officials despite an emergency response on Friday's fire. Authorities said an order was not placed due to the wind blowing away from the city. "This type of event, you can easily have a leak of product, and you can easily find an ignition source. Tools could be used to cause spark if they have tools they're supposed to use that don't cause that. But it's going to be part of the investigation as we look to find what the sequence of events was prior to the fire that was initially described," Capt. James Singleton said.
"The doctor says he's doing well. He's doing good, but I have seen a lot of the arms, the face, all red. Red burns on his body. His face is red hot. His arms - everything, because the oil and the steam splashed everywhere in his body," Pablo Jasso, one of the worker's fathers, told Eyewitness News. "It was a loud rumble, almost like a jet airplane hovering over your home," Davis said. "It was really frightening, because it gave you, this feeling of impending doom like there might be an explosion coming next because it was so loud, extraordinarily loud."
