On 11 August 2009, TCEQ requested EPA assistance concerning the fire at the I-27 Recycling Center. TCEQ requested for the ASPECT plane to fly over the incident location and collect air monitoring data in the smoke plume and downwind of the fire.
The responding EPA OSC and START-3 mobilized to the site to provide further assistance to TCEQ as necessary.

The fire began on 10 August 2009 between 1600 and 1800 hours. It was reported that a spark from a vehicle started the fire, but the cause of the fire is currently under investigation. The facility recycles wood and asphalt shingles.
