A fire that burned for four days after a pipeline explosion in the Houston suburbs burned out Thursday after the once-towering blaze had put hundreds of nearby homes under evacuation orders, city officials said.

A pipeline fire that forced hundreds of people to flee their homes in the Houston suburbs is burning for a third day, with officials saying they don’t expect it to be extinguished until sometime Thurs

Investigators say the fire began after an SUV went through a fence alongside a Walmart parking lot and struck an above-ground valve.
