Reports said two structures on fire were beginning to collapse.
Meanwhile, some residents experienced low water pressure as firefighters fought the blaze.
Brazos County Sheriff Wayne Dicky told residents not to drive to the scene so that emergency vehicles could enter.
The outlet noted:
According to Brazos County Sheriff Wayne Dicky, Democrat Road is closed and all lanes of Highway 21 are back open, but authorities are urging people to stay away from the area and not stop on the side of the road to take photos.
The fire come amid a string of suspicious fires at food plants over 2022 and 2023.
According to Bloomberg data, “food plant fire” reports jumped the most in a decade last year.
Its the feed mill portion of the plant that exploded, not the chicken grow barns.
Fire on Democrat Road!“
Wouldn’t you hate to live on DemosRAT road?
A gas line in Texas, now a chicken farm, all in 24 hours?
Plus trucks are headed to Texas and Bribem hasn’t decided yet to send troops yet. Is it all a coincidence, Oor just a focus on Texas this week?
Once is happenstance.
Twice is coincidence.
Three times is enemy action.....................
Damn chickens playing with matches again.
Who let them have coffeemakers in their cages! Nobody else gets them in our cubicles!
And now you know why.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
A: To get away from the fire.
Now, finally, we know.
