As a result of this fire there is now a Level II HazMat in the area due to hydrochloric acid fumes being generated by the fire.  The story below says there is a half-mile shelter in place area but that has now been upgraded to a 2 mile shelter in place area:

The entire facility will not be shut down for at least a week:
