DEER PARK, Texas (AP) — 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.

On Thursday, human remains were found inside the vehicle and authorities had opened a criminal investigation.
