Saturday the blaze broke out at Jaxon Energy on Industrial Drive. The Jackson Fire Department responded and was able to get the fire under control.
Jackson Fire and investigators from the State Fire Marshall’s office are now trying to determine the cause of the blaze. The plant was back open Monday.
For several years Ward 3 councilman Kenneth Stokes has expressed concerns about how the chemicals used at the plant could impact the health of residents and the environment.
