At approximately 1230 on Monday August 3rd, a fire occurred at the Halliburton plant in Texarkana, TX. The fire is believed to have started in a building that contained empty bags. The crew onsite attempted to put out the fire with sand and the call to the fire department went to dispatch at 1235. The fire reignited and eventually collapsed the roof. The chemicals in the building, used for the production of drilling mud, did not include any CERCLA hazardous substances, so no release was reportable under CERCLA 103.
