Explosion reported at U.S. Polyco plant in Ennis

The incident had been contained by 12:30 p.m., police said.

Police confirmed there was an explosion and fire at the U.S. Polyco plant in Ennis on Monday.

No injuries were initially reported, but footage from the scene showed firefighters putting a person a stretcher and rushing the person into an ambulance.

The plant is just off Interstate 45 in Ennis at 3701 N. Freeway Service Road. The incident had been contained by 12:30 p.m., police said.

There was also an explosion at the plant in February, when a "pop-off valve" blew off an asphalt tank, officials said.

No injuries were reported in the February explosion, but the boom reportedly rattled homes for miles.
