Grant Smith of Ankeny works at the Kum & Go near the intersection of First Street and Delaware Avenue in Ankeny. Smith said some motorists stopping at the convenience store sought tips to navigate the maze of blocked highways.

"A lot of people have come in here asking for directions since the interstates are closed. We've been getting a lot of reports from people coming in and they are talking about the explosions. I'm trying to tell people how to take the side roads," Smith said.

Theresa Kasper of Ogden stopped at the Kum & Go for gas.

"I could see the smoke all the way from Ogden," she said. Ogden is about 30 miles northwest of the explosion site.

Interstates were temporarily closed, but have reopened.

A.J. Mumm, Polk County emergency management coordinator, said in a press conference at 4 p.m. that firefighters are still in defensive mode. "There are still explosions, it's too dangerous to get to. We can tell it has subsided."

The Associated Press: Explosion at Iowa Chemical Factory

Explosion at Iowa Chemical Factory

51 minutes ago

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An explosion and fire Monday at a chemical plant northeast of Des Moines sent plumes of thick smoke into the sky and forced officials to close two interstate freeways.

There was no immediate word on whether anyone was injured.

Flames and clouds of black smoke soared above the Barton Solvents plant, and exploding barrels could be seen jetting into the sky.

Police closed Interstates 80 and 235 near the fire.

"There is thick smoke and they're concerned drivers can't see," said Dena Grey-Fisher, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Transportation. "There's also toxic fumes associated with chemicals and they're going to do some testing of the area."

By Donovan Slack and Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff

Boston is planning a victory celebration Tuesday for the world champion Red Sox that will be similar to the "rolling rally" in 2004 , with a duck boat parade starting at noon that will carry the team from Fenway Park through the streets of the Back Bay and past the Boston Common and City Hall Plaza.

The parade will pass three jumbo television screens and include a flatbed truck carrying the Dropkick Murphys , the Irish-style punk band whose music has become the soundtrack for the spirited Sox closer -- and step-dancer - Jonathan Papelbon.
