Sherwin Williams Plant Fire Garland Tx
On August 7, 2023, at approximately 1:20 a.m., Garland Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 701 S. Shiloh Road, Sherwin-Williams. Fire units arrived on the scene, discovering a large ongoing fire and observing several large explosions. Fire units immediately evacuated the plant and took measures to ensure all plant employees were accounted for, with one employee being treated at the scene for minor injuries. Ultimately, 16 Garland Fire units responded to the scene. After approximately two hours, the fire department suppressed the fire. The City of Garland has partnered with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct extensive air quality and stormwater (runoff water) testing including active monitoring around the Sherwin-Williams Plant and nearby neighborhoods. The EPA conducted fly-over air monitoring assessments, and all test results have shown safe levels for air quality. During the efforts to contain the fire and manage immediate life safety priorities, foam retardant from the Sherwin-Williams fire suppression system entered the sewers and surrounding creeks. TCEQ, EPA, the City of Garland and Sherwin-Williams are working to remediate the issues caused by the runoff and cleanup any remaining foam. While some dead fish have been observed in the impacted creeks, no major impacts to public health have been identified at this time. The public is advised to not fish or have contact with these creeks while contaminant testing and cleanup activities continue. Dams have been constructed and water is being pumped out of impacted creeks to mitigate the spread of potential contaminants. Thirty tanks have already been filled with over 700,000 gallons of potentially impacted water, and 20 more tanks are expected to be filled over the next few days. |

Re: Sherwin Williams Plant Fire Garland Tx
Yeah kellyhound I work there. Still waiting on if I still have a job. The side that blew the fuck up makes resin and one of the Reactors must have blown up. The side I work on didn’t catch fire and we make different products. So we are crossing are fingers. Someone fucked up big time
