As of Tuesday morning, the fire caused by an exploding pipeline in a Houston suburb continued to burn itself out, according to officials.

A natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline owned by Energy Transfer caught fire in La Porte, Texas, on Monday morning, the company said in a statement, knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses and prompting a widespread evacuation.

A fire that burned for four days after a pipeline explosion in the Houston suburbs burned out Thursday after the once-towering blaze put hundreds of nearby homes under evacuation orders. Investigators say the fire began after the driver of an SUV went through a fence alongside a Walmart parking lot and struck an above-ground valve.

Over 36 hours after the blast — which shot towering flames like a blowtorch above the suburbs of Deer Park and La Porte — authorities have provided few details about the circumstances leading up to the explosion.

A fire at a pipeline in the Houston area has prompted an emergency response Monday morning. Here's what we know about the conditions in La Porte.

"The fire continues to burn itself out this morning, which is the safest way to manage the incident," the City of Deer Park said.

The city of La Porte said it has slightly reduced the evacuation area south of the pipeline fire, but did not say how many people were affected.
