SMITH COUNTY – Smith County firefighters are continuing to battle a large industrial fire at Four Seasons Containers LLC, west of Tyler. Smith County Fire Marshal Chad Hogue said his office has three deputy fire marshals on the scene to investigate how the fire started.
The emergency call came in at 6:22 p.m. Thursday, that the 26,000 square-foot metal building, filled with plastic and oil products, was on fire. Firefighters from Tyler and Lindale Fire Departments, as well as Smith County Emergency Services District 2, responded to the fire located on Highway 64 West, near Toll 49.
Because the fire was causing hazardous smoke, Smith County officials asked residents to evacuate the area around 8 p.m. to a nearby church that opened as a shelter. The evacuation order was lifted around 11:30 p.m. Thursday. Hogue said firefighters fought the blaze throughout the night. Because the building is full of highly combustible plastic and oil products, the fire was still going on at 9 a.m. Friday. Part of the roof has collapsed, he added. No one was injured and no air traffic has been affected at the nearby Tyler Pounds Regional Airport. TCEQ is monitoring the air quality, Hogue said.
