No hazards identified after fire at paint plant, Garland authoritifes say
All employees at the plant were accounted for and only one person reported injuries.In the area, some have expressed concern about health risks due to fumes.
“It's a paint factory. I’m not trying to get poisoned,” Roberto Gavia said. Gavia lives about three minutes away from the plant. The explosions kept him, and his wife awake. “It scared the living hell out of us.”"The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Therefore, the city is requesting the public to please stay out of the immediate area," Lee said.“Usually when we're busy, we're anywhere from like 10 to 20 customers,” Lalo Hernandez said.
Across from the mechanic shop is the convenience store, A Dash In. The owner told NBC 5 his sales were 70% less than usual. Authorities were not able to provide an approximate time for when the road will reopen. A representative for Sherwin-Williams has not responded to a request for comment from NBC 5.
