Fire Erupts at Dallas-Area Chemical Plant
GARLAND, Texas (AP) -- Flames are roiling 50 feet into the sky from a fire at a chemical plant near Dallas, sending a black column of smoke drifting high into the sky.
Authorities say the fire erupted around 3:30 p.m. Friday in an industrial district in Garland.
The city's emergency management coordinator says there were no immediate reports of injuries, but evacuations have been ordered within a quarter-mile of the plant.
Fire Capt. Merrill Balanciere says it's unclear what sparked the blaze. He says firefighters were delayed in approaching it because of nearby chemical storage tanks.
A spokesman for Ashland Chemical, whose logos are prominently displayed at the plant, says the plant was sold to Nexeo Solutions about 18 months ago. A phone message left at The Woodlands-based Nexeo wasn't immediately returned.

Wife guilty in Nichols Hills fire chief slaying
May 22, 2013 00:24 GMT
EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- A jury in El Reno has convicted Rebecca Bryan of the murder of her husband, Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan, and recommended a sentence of life in prison without parole.
Jurors reached the Tuesday verdict after about four hours of deliberation.
The 54-year-old Bryan claimed an intruder had shot her husband, though police found her Ruger pistol in a clothes dryer in their home after the shooting.
The gun was matched to the bullet used to shoot Keith Bryan in 2011 at the couple's Mustang home. Police also found a spent shell casing and a left-handed rubber glove wrapped in a bullet-riddled blanket.
The Oklahoman reports (http://is.gd/mvC6Mi ) Bryan didn't display her emotions when the verdict was read. Her lawyer gave her a hug and told her he was sorry.
