Two gasoline barges were being cleaned, when something sparked a fire on one of the barges.
The fire started a series of explosions, on both boats, and the fire kept going through the night.
Thursday morning, at 09:30 CDT, Hazmat teams were finally able to move in and ensure that all was safe.
No one was hurt in the incident, but during the fire emergency crews kept a one mile safe zone clear of any people.
The explosions were powerful enough to send debris, some weighing several tons, as far as two hundred yards.
