A fire Saturday at an Oklahoma facility that handles natural gas prompted mandatory evacuations for a wide swath of homes and businesses near the plant.
"We are cooperating with local emergency responders and appreciate their quick response," Borror said."Our focus continues working with emergency responders to extinguish the fire and the safety of the surrounding community and our employees."
The exact time of the start of the fire was not available. Grant County Emergency Management leaders were en route to the scene and could not provide immediate information, an official said by phone. Video of the blaze verified by NBC News depicted a raging, centralized fire at the facility with a plume of black smoke rising and then angling away with the wind.
Those remaining within two miles of the plant must evacuate, the Grant County Sheriff's Office said earlier in the day. The city of Medford said , including a church, a school, and a hotel. A fire department station was no longer available for those needing shelter, Medford officials said."No timetable for returning is available at this time," it said in a post on Facebook that has since been edited.
