DEER PARK, Texas — A fire burning at a petrochemical storage facility in suburban Houston could burn for two more days as firefighters take a defensive posture and let the blaze burn through fuel stored in tanks at the site, officials said Monday.Ray Russell, spokesman for Channel Industries Mutual Aid, which is helping in the response, said firefighters have had "pretty good success controlling the fire" and stopping it from spreading to other tanks. The tanks that are burning contain gas, oil and chemicals, according to Intercontinental Terminals Company, which owns the facility.In one tank, Russell said, crews are working to pump out a flammable liquid to deprive the fire of fuel. Even with that effort, the fire could burn until Wednesday, he said.A column of black smoke rose from the plant, but the city of Deer Park and ITC said tests indicated the air was not dangerous as of late Monday morning. Schools in Deer Park and La Porte were shut down as testing continues.The cause of the fire remains under investigation.Asked whether the result of air-quality tests could be released to the media, ITC spokeswoman Alice Richardson said they had already been provided to city officials and she would check on whether she could share them with reporters.A private air monitoring contractor declared the readings "favorable," Deer Park's Office of Emergency Management said just before noon (1 p.m. ET). The latest results indicate "no detections during the latest reporting period exceeded recommended action levels," the office said.Low levels of "particulate matter" were detected early Monday, the company said, and "a single, volatile organic compound detection has been found 6 miles southwest of the facility. These readings are currently well below hazardous levels."ITC reported the fire began in a single tank on Sunday afternoon and spread to a second tank. Richardson told reporters that firefighters were using foam in their efforts to douse the blaze and they were hoping that once the fire was contained, they could close the tank valves and the fire would put itself out.By Monday morning, seven of the Deer Park facility's 242 tanks were involved in the fire, and the blaze spread to an eighth tank before 5:30 a.m., the company said.Later, however, David Wascome, ITC's vice president of terminal operations, said only seven tanks were affected and that one of the tanks originally cited was empty. The fire is confined to an area containing 15 tanks, he said."Although the risk of explosion is minimal, we continue to take precautions to further reduce this possibility," the company said.One tank stores naphtha, another contains xylene, the latest to catch fire contains toluene and the others hold "gas blend stocks used in the production of finished gasoline, and base oil commonly used as machine lubricants," ITC said.The tank containing the naphta, which is highly flammable, was the one being pumped, the company said.Xylene is a solvent that occurs naturally in petroleum, and swallowing or breathing the substance can cause death, while nonlethal exposure can cause eye, nose, throat and skin irritation, among other maladies, 3178

During the nightly White House Coronavirus Task Force news briefing Wednesday, Dr. Anthony Fauci said that it’s possible that the coronavirus will become a seasonal illness, one that returns in earnest annually like the flu. But unlike the flu, a vaccine is not available for COVID-19, and at its current rate, is much more deadly than the flu. Fauci told reporters that it’s important for scientists to develop a vaccine quickly. “What we’re starting to see in the Southern Hemisphere of Southern Africa and the Southern Hemisphere countries, is that we’re having cases that are appearing as they go into their winter season,” he said. “If they have a substantial outbreak, it will be inevitable that we need to be prepared that we’ll get a cycle a second time.” Fauci’s tone, however, was one of optimism, saying that doctors and officials will defeat the virus. The news conference came as the Senate was putting the finishing the finishing touches on legislation to stimulate the economy – an economy President Donald Trump is hopeful to restart in the coming weeks. Passage of the bill did hit a snag as several GOP senators believe that the bill gives incentives for people to go on unemployment. Regardless of when the economy reopens, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that he believes the bill Congress is working on provides enough support to keep the economy functional for three months. He added that the unemployment provision was needed in order to rush funds to states in order to administer the checks. The highlight of the bill is that it would put ,200 into the bank accounts of a majority of Americans in April. “We need to get this money into the American economy and American workers, that's the importance of this,” Mnuchin said. Trump said on Tuesday that Easter is a “special day,” which is partially why he wants to have the country reopened by then. On Wednesday, he said that it’s possible to reopen sections of the country piecemeal. “There are large sections of our country probably can go back much sooner than other sections and we're obviously looking at that,” Trump said. 2124
