Wow! Hope everyone is ok and thank you to those firefighters who are battling the fire! Also, a shout out the firefighters in Alberta and all the others who put themselves on that line to protect us all.

(37,748 posts)Close to 200 firefighters in response; indications that "chemicals in a large capacity" in may be burning, according to Houston Fire Department spokesman Rick Flanagan; multiple explosions could be seen inside the warehouse, according to KRPC, many of which are believed to be caused by stores of ammunition caught in the fire; residents are being urged to stay inside, close all windows and doors and turn off air conditioning systems (due to filtration, I'd guess).
