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.

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

A pipeline fire that forced hundreds of residents to evacuate in suburban Houston is burning for a third day, with no clear end in sight.
