(CNN) -- An explosion ripped through a fertilizer plant Wednesday night in West Texas, causing dozens of injuries, officials said.
A hospital in Waco, Texas, has been told to anticipate 100 injured people coming in from the fertilizer plant area, an official at the medical facility said. Glenn Robinson, CEO of Hillcrest Hospital, said a field triage station was being set up on a football field near the plant some 18 miles north of Waco after the Wednesday night explosion.
"We have had a steady flow of patients coming in by ambulance as well as by private vehicles," Robinson told CNN's Anderson Cooper. He said more than a dozen injured people had been brought in by ambulances and "more than 20 -- that number is continuing to climb -- by private vehicle."
A photo after the explosion -- which reportedly happened around 7:50 p.m. (8:50 p.m. ET) -- showed a huge plume of smoke rising high into the air.
The West Fertilizer Plant is located just north of Waco. A school and a nursing home are among the buildings near the plant, CNN affiliate KWTX reported.
Senator Brian Birdwell said he was aware of the explosion and trying to get more information, a spokesman said.
"I stand ready to assist with any and all state resources that might aid the affected area," Birdwell said in a written statement.
Tommy Alford, who works in a convenience store about three miles from the plant, told CNN that several volunteer firefighters were at the store when they spotted smoke.
Alford said the firefighters headed toward the scene and then between five and 10 minutes later, he heard a massive explosion.
Hazardous material teams were being rushed to the scene, an emergency management official said. -

Sportscaster Pat Summerall, who teamed with John Madden for more than two decades on NFL telecasts, forming one of the best known announcing duos in TV history, has died. He was 82.
His death was confirmed by Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell, according to the Associated Press. No other details were immediately available.
Summerall had been living in Southlake, Texas, in recent years.
Known for his deep, resonant voice and a smooth, understated delivery that wasted no words, Summerall worked with Tom Brookshier on the NFL for CBS from 1975 and was paired with Madden in 1981. Summerall and Madden went as a team to Fox in 1994 after that upstart network acquired NFL rights and the pair remained a team through the 2002 Super Bowl.
In 1999, Summerall was inducted into the American Sportscaster Assn.'s Hall of Fame.
Summerall worked 16 Super Bowls for CBS and Fox, the most by any network announcer.
In 2002, Madden left for ABC and Joe Buck replaced Summerall as Fox's lead NFL play-by-play announcer.
Summerall was the low-key, concise counterpoint to Madden, the former NFL coach who offered exuberant yet knowledgeable analysis.
As Madden put it once: “I'd say about three or four paragraphs that didn't make any sense, and he would say three words that would make sense out of my three paragraphs that didn't make any sense.”
Before becoming a broadcaster, Summerall played 10 seasons in the NFL, primarily as a kicker with the Detroit Lions, Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants. His best years were with the Giants, who reached the NFL championship game in three of his four seasons with the team.
Summerall battled alcoholism throughout much of his life and wrote about it in his 2006 autobiography, “Pat Summerall: On and Off the Ai -

something to consider....danica has made it to where she is without the benefit of a famous great grandfather,grandfather or a famous uncle
dont get me wrong....this little girl probably has a bright future...even if its not as racecar driver...she definitely has the gift for gab.....which is obviously great for broadcasting
its gonna be interesting to see which direction that she goes in
