DEER PARK, Texas (AP) — Officials say a massive pipeline fire that has burned for hours near Houston began after vehicle struck an above-ground valve after driving through a fence. Officials in Deer Park said Monday that police and local FBI agents have found no evidence of “terroristic activity.” They said it also appears to be an isolated incident. The investigation is ongoing and includes an effort to identify the driver. Operators have shut off the flow of natural gas liquids in the pipeline. Officials say it could take hours, perhaps into Tuesday, for the fire to burn off.
