The mindset that an EV fire is “just a car fire” ignores the extra fuel load a battery adds. This can leave firefighters unprepared for the sheer volume of water—and the specialized tactics—required to extinguish these fires.

VIDEOS: A fire broke out at a LyondellBasell chemical plant near Pasadena Thursday night, sending thick smoke and flames into the air and prompting a large emergency response from multiple agencies.

No injuries were reported.

The fire was reported around 9 p.m. at LyondellBasell’s Bayport Choate site, a sprawling chemical complex located at 10801 Choate Road in Pasadena.

The Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office identified the facility as a Chemical Process Unit at Lyondell BayPort and confirmed that everyone present at the time of the fire was accounted for.

Officials said the fire burned for several hours overnight, with flames and thick smoke visible from miles away.

The La Porte Office of Emergency Management said the main fire was fully extinguished early Friday morning.

Officials said the scene was transitioned back to LyondellBasell between about 2 a.m. and 3 a.m., and city emergency crews returned to service around 2 a.m.

Activity in and around the facility may continue as the company manages the incident and monitors conditions at the site.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: As the weather warms on Delmarva, runners and walkers are becoming a common sight on local streets. In Milton, however, one runner stands out.

He moves through town in full firefighter gear while carrying an American flag.

Allen Jackson, a former Marine and National Guard member who now serves as a firefighter in Milton, is running miles around town this year to honor the firefighters who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Jackson’s goal is to run 343 miles in 2026, one mile for each of the 343 firefighters killed when the World Trade Center towers collapsed.

“The 343 miles that I’m trying to run comes from the 343 firefighters who lost their lives that day in the Twin Towers,” Jackson said.

For Jackson, the tribute is deeply personal. “It hits deep and heavy,” he said.

Jackson’s runs often take him along streets such as Mulberry Street in Milton. On any given day, he runs between one and three miles while wearing a 20-pound weighted vest designed to simulate the air pack firefighters carry into burning buildings.
