BACLIFF – Multiple fire departments sent out firefighters Sunday morning to battle a large fire at an inactive power plant in Bacliff.
The fire started at the PH Robinson Power Plant on State Highway 146.
Fire departments from across Galveston County and nearby departments from Brazoria County responded to the fire.
A shelter-in-place order was issued for parts of San Leon from 8th Street to Galveston Bay as a precaution due to winds pushing the heavy smoke towards the nearby bayfront community.
No injuries were reported.
