A chemical fire broke out in Frisco on the morning of September 25 at a Texas Pool Supply warehouse. The fire was large enough to prompt city officials to order residents to “shelter-in-place.” The warehouse is located on John W. Elliott Drive, near the Dallas North Tollway. The fire broke out around 7:44 a.m. and there was a risk of toxic fumes being released into the air.
Authorities took immediate action and advised people in nearby areas to stay indoors, close windows, and turn off air conditioners. Areas affected covered regions from Research Road north, Page Street south, the railroad tracks east, and the Dallas North Tollway west.
Firefighters responded quickly and upgraded the fire to a three-alarm level, indicating the situation was serious. Firefighters worked hard and had the fire largely under control by 9:28 a.m. Then, the shelter-in-place order was lifted.
Best of all, no injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is still being investigated. Hazmat teams are still on scene to ensure there are no further chemical dangers.
People praised the firefighters for their quick action, but some are a little concerned about the long-term effects of the chemicals. The city of Frisco said air quality tests are being monitored, and they do not yet see any immediate risks.
This Frisco fire is now being referred to as the Frisco chemical fire because there were dangerous chemicals in the warehouse. This incident highlights the importance of emergency preparedness, especially in industrial areas where hazardous materials are stored.
