There has been a fire at Highway 5 & 240 in Howard County call came in at 9:20 P.M. There has had some explosions and they are shutting down all lanes of Highway 5 because of the explosions. I will be updating this post as I get more information. At 9:35 heard the Howard County Sheriff's talking back and forth about the fire and one of them said that there was still a lot of orange fire and that there had not been anymore explosions in the last 5 minutes. A highway patrol just talked (@ 9:38) to a sheriff and is enroute to Howard County to help assist with blocking the road for fire personnel.
@ 10:19 Fire and Howard County Sheriff's were leaving and the highway is back open.
