A pipeline fire in Deer Park, Texas, triggered by an SUV collision with a valve, has led to the evacuation of over 1,000 households, with approximately 400 residents still unable to return home as of Tuesday. The fire, which erupted on Monday morning, has been burning for two days, with officials stating that the pipeline will burn off residual gas before the fire extinguishes itself. Investigators are probing the circumstances surrounding the crash but have found no evidence of terrorist activity. While some residents have been allowed to access their homes briefly, many have reported the chaos of fleeing with little more than the clothes on their backs. Energy Transfer, the company operating the pipeline, is investigating the incident and has set up a hotline for affected residents. As firefighting efforts continue, the impact of the incident has raised concerns given Deer Park's proximity to numerous chemical plants and pipelines.
