Mokaram Law Firm extends our deepest concerns to the residents and workers affected by the recent fire at the Shepherd chemical plant on FM 1127 in San Jacinto County. We understand the distress and uncertainty that such an incident can cause, and we stand ready to offer our legal expertise to those impacted.

An employee has suffered significant injuries, with first-degree burns to the face and more severe burns to the arms. While we are grateful that no other injuries have been reported among the 19 workers present, the emotional and environmental toll on the community cannot be overlooked.

Community Impact and Immediate Response

The San Jacinto County Office of Emergency Management’s directive for shelter-in-place affected many, with an initial radius of five miles reduced to one mile post-assessment. Residents of FM 1127 facing the dilemma of evacuation received instructions to relocate, highlighting the disruption to daily life. Furthermore, US Highway 59’s closure has created significant transportation issues, evidencing the broader consequences of such emergencies.

Educational Institutions’ Evacuations and Measures

The evacuation of a private school on FM 1127 and Goodrich ISD, along with the precautionary stance of Shepherd ISD, underscores the incident’s severity and the risk to our children’s safety and education.
