Flames shoot skyward from the Ashland Chemical's Fairfield, California distribution center on Wednesday, June 4, 2008. The fire started in a tanker truck that was carrying corrosive chemicals in the loading dock and spread to at least two others. Fairfield police issues a shelter in place order and evacuated people located within a quarter of a mile from the plant. No one was injured in the blaze.
