    They have expanded the safe zone to 5 miles which includes my neighborhood in Bellville.   They are allowing residence to return home but cannot leave unless it's a medical emergency.   Once again the Frequency is 159.045 to monitor the FD working the scene.   They have FDs from Brenham, Sealy and other surrounding communities helping in the effort.

Last I heard no injuries and everyone evacuated, per Bellville FD.   As I mentioned in previous post it must be out of control as they have pulled everyone back 1/2 mile and regrouping.... no chatter on radio now.

Hi Dennis,



Thanks for the info. Now I know why I heard a bunch of police cars on hwy36 and one that came by my house on fm331 just after 5am. The plant was the Western International Gas plant. They deal with all different types of gas.



Ron, K1PEC

A gas plant exploded this morning on Hwy 159 just east of Bellville.  Hwy 159 is closed between Bellville and Hempstead.  There has been an evacuation of a 2 mile radius of the explosion.  Plan you travels accordingly.  Anyone wishing to monitor the Bellville EMS/FD is transmitting on 159.045.   73  WR5DC
