A concrete dome now stands where the wooden fertilizer warehouse in Bryan burned to the ground. The blaze raged around a million pounds of ammonium nitrate and forced thousands to flee their homes. But the chemical never exploded as it did recently a hundred miles away in West.
The 2009 fire in Bryan did bring about a measure of safety. The warehouse’s owner, El Dorado Chemical Co., decided against another combustible structure and rebuilt instead with concrete.
