GLADEWATER — Officials now say an early morning fire destroyed a Gladewater business on Monday. The fire at Southwest Plastics was called in shortly before 1:30 a.m. Due to safety concerns, firefighters had to battle the fire from the outside. Officials say the fire could have been a lot worse: a full 3,000-gallon oil tank was less than 20 feet from the building. The cause of the fire is still unknown at this time and remains under investigation. No one was hurt in the fire.
