The La Porte Office of Emergency Management, citing information from pipeline owner Energy Transfer, announced the blaze had been extinguished late Thursday. The office said in a statement posted to X that Spencer Highway will remain closed from Luella to Canada Road until the area is completely secured.

The SUV involved in the Deer Park pipeline explosion is now being examined, new video shows. Officials began towing the vehicle away from the site, moving it away from the fire's edge, to finally find answers to questions about how the SUV ended up inside the fence and whether anyone remained in the vehicle.
