Video of a fire and explosion at a West, Tex., fertilizer plant on Wednesday evening.
1:11 a.m. | Updated A huge fire and explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant outside of Waco has wounded dozens of people, damaged a local middle school and nursing home and prompted local officials to set up a triage center on a local football field, officials said.
Officials said they did not yet know the number of casualties from the blast, but D.L. Wilson, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, described a scene of devastation in the area surrounding the plant. Between 50 and 75 houses within a five-block radius of the plant had been damaged by the explosions, and emergency personnel were conducting house-to-house searches for survivors, Mr. Wilson said.
