Still burning, they have the foam truck from Lubrizol ( another local chemical co.) trying to control some of the flames while watching cracks in the wall grow and preparing for its fall. They do have a fairly good control of the heat from reaching nearby ry rail cars.
@5:34 they are calling out a rapid change in the smoke on several sides of the building.
