(CNN) An explosion rocked a Texas chemical plant early Wednesday, causing extensive damage across the small city of Port Neches and leaving at least three employees injured. A chemical fire burned at the site, about 90 miles east of Houston, the Nederland Volunteer Fire Department said. More explosions erupted Wednesday afternoon, according to local media and the fire department in nearby Groves. The focus was on containment and keeping surrounding storage tanks cool, said Troy Monk, director of health safety and security for TPC Group, which operates the Port Neches Operations site. "There's extensive damage throughout the City," the Port Neches Police Department said in a statement.
