What is burning in the Shepherd plant fire?​

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers says he was advised by the president of Sound Resource Solutions that diesel was burning, and some turpentine and other chemicals may be burning as well.

According to Polk County OEM, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality records show that the plant has reported housing wood turpentine, phosphoric acid, xylene, diesel fuel, IMP-IC-2012, sulfuric acid, CDA-121, NP 9, isopropyl alcohol, IMB-BAC-2, AZA-121 dispersant and acetic acid.

Seems like a small facility, San Jacinto county is very rural.
