MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas — Midland County fire crews are on scene of a large fire at Viking Pools, according to a county spokesperson.
The Viking Pools building is located near I-20 and 1788.
At this time there is no word on what caused the fire, but a spokesperson tells us there were toxic chemicals inside the building, which means there is a possibility of toxins in the air.
The county's concern right now is that the National Weather Service says winds have shifted and could cover the interstate. They also said winds could reach up to 20 miles an hour by 10 p.m.
Midland County is warning people that if they are able to smell the fire in their homes, it would be a good idea to leave the area.
A county spokesperson said they have evacuated an RV park in the area.
At this time no injuries have been reported and the county believes the building was unoccupied when the fire started.
Midland County crews are being assisted by Midland County Sheriff's Office, Midland Fire Department, Odessa Fire Rescue, North Eastern Volunteer Fire Department, Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department and West Odessa Volunteer Fire Department.
The county's concern right now is that if the fire continues over the next 45 minutes, the National Weather Service says winds could shift and cover the interstate. They also said winds could reach up to 20 miles an hour by 10 p.m.
