Flames fill the sky as immense mass of black smoke rises over Normandy during blaze at chemical plant in Rouen, France.
An immense mass of black smoke is rising over Normandy as firefighters battle a blaze Thursday at a chemical plant, and authorities closed schools in 11 surrounding towns and asked residents to stay indoors.

Images showed bursts of orange flames and the sounds of repeated explosions from the plant overnight. The site was still spewing huge plumes of black smoke mid-morning, with bursts of flames still visible as sirens sounded over and over.
