DALLAS — A series of large explosions sent a shower of flaming debris on nearby freeways and buildings near downtown Dallas Wednesday in what became a three-alarm blaze, officials said.
The explosions occurred at a gas vendor at 500 S. Industrial Blvd. and Interstate 35-E in the Trinity River bottoms, fire officials said.
"It's snowing ash," one eyewitness told FOX affiliate KDFW-TV. "It's unbelievable."
Authorities evacuated a half-mile area surrounding the Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc. facility and shut down parts nearby Interstates 30 and 35 as the explosions continued for more than half an hour. Video footage showed numerous small fires burning in the area as stacks of gas cylinders exploded.
"I thought it was artillery. It was just coming just boom, boom, boom," said witness Tony Love, a former Army soldier.
