Crews arrived to find a grass fire on the chemical plant&#8217;s property, the fire district said in a news release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Firefighters &#8220;quickly&#8221; contained the flames, and there was no threat or damage to any of the buildings at the site. A hazardous materials response was initially called because of the nature of the facility near the flames, but it was later cancelled, fire officials said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although more than 15 units were initially sent out in response to the incident, the fire district explained that &#8220;additional resources may be dispatched to incidents involving commercial or industrial facilities as a precaution until potential hazards can be evaluated and ruled out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Engineers from the facility confirmed to fire crews that the vapor coming from Am PAC&#8217;s buildings was normal steam and unrelated to the fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are no reported injuries from the fire, according to fire officials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
