At least one person was killed Tuesday at the KMCO plant in Crosby, Texas, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Two others are in critical condition and were driven by helicopter to a hospital, said spokeswoman for the office of the Fire Marshal Rachel Moreno.
The fire is contained, she said, but firefighters are trying to prevent it from spreading.
All residents within a 1.5 km radius of the factory have been ordered to be housed on site, announced the Harris County Sheriff's Office. But there does not seem to be any dangerous chemicals in the air.
"We have not seen any detection at the action level," said Matt Loesel, on-site coordinator of US Environmental.
Moreno said that there were dry and combustible chemicals in the storage building where the flames were suffering.
