MONT BELVIEU, Texas (AP) -- Fire has broken out at a petroleum plant east of Houston.

A Mont Belvieu police dispatcher said there were no reports of injuries or evacuations after the fire erupted Tuesday afternoon an Enterprise Products site.

Firefighters were responding to the scene about 30 miles east of Houston. A nearby school district, Barbers Hill, is keeping children inside the schools.

Flames were shooting about 100 feet into the air and black smoke could be seen from downtown Houston.

An Enterprise Products spokesman didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
