Fire damages Permian Chemical plant in Odessa blaze
A Saturday fire damaged the fiberglass reactor shell at Permian Chemical Co on Highway 80. No injuries were reported though officials withheld details. Firefighters used 5,000 gallons of water amid concerns about acid and potential explosion risks. The shell was a condition of a court order from Judge Joe Connally in August. A Clean Air Act suit against Permian Chemical seeks fines for 88 alleged violations.
