HOUSTON

Workers at the Averitt express yard on JFK Boulevard near FM 525 saw the smoke and called 911. Firefighters arrived and found flames inside that trailer. It's believed a hazardous chemical spilled inside, causing it to erupt in flames.

No one was hurt. HazMat teams stayed on scene for several hours to make sure it didn't erupt into flames again.
