Sherwin-Williams Plant in Texas Damaged in Possible Explosion.

Early on Monday, there was a possible explosion at a Sherwin-Williams facility in Texas, which left at least one person injured. The explosion happened around 1:30 a.m. at the Sherwin-Williams plant in Garland, northeast of Dallas. The exact reason for the explosion is still unknown, but officials think it might have resulted from a natural gas leak.

A worker at the plant got hurt during the explosion, but thankfully the injuries are not life-threatening. The plant had to be evacuated, and firefighters are currently at the location dealing with a fire that started after the explosion.

The explosion caused significant damage to the plant, and it's unclear when the facility can resume operations. Sherwin-Williams released a statement stating they are collaborating closely with local authorities to figure out what caused the incident.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time such incidents have occurred at Sherwin-Williams plants in recent years. In 2019, there was a fire at a Sherwin-Williams plant in Alabama, and in 2018, an explosion at a Sherwin-Williams plant in Ohio resulted in the loss of a worker's life.

The authorities are still investigating the Texas explosion, leaning towards the possibility of a natural gas leak as the cause. The plant had to be evacuated, and firefighters are currently dealing with the fire that broke out after the explosion. One of the employees sustained injuries but they're not life-threatening. The explosion caused considerable damage to the plant, and it's uncertain when operations can resume. Sherwin-Williams is actively collaborating with local authorities to understand the incident's cause.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time such incidents have happened at Sherwin-Williams plants recently. There was a fire at a Sherwin-Williams plant in Alabama in 2019, and in 2018, a worker lost their life in an explosion at a Sherwin-Williams plant in Ohio.
