A fire burning into its fourth day at a petrochemical facility in a suburban Houston area has been extinguished, officials say."As of 3 a.m. today (Wednesday), the firefighting crews on the scene of the ITC Tank Farm Fire are reporting that all tank fires have been extinguished," Intercontinental Terminals Company said in a news release. "Crews continue to spray foam and water on the tanks to facilitate cooling and prevent reigniting of the remaining material."The fire began in a single tank at ITC, a storage facility in Deer Park, Texas, on Sunday afternoon and quickly spread to a second tank, the company said.A specialty firefighting team from Louisiana was brought in to battle the fire, and used foam and water, ITC officials said.By late Tuesday, four tanks remained burning at the ITC facility -- which was a reduction from seven earlier that day, according to Harris County authorities.The battle had by then moved from a defensive mode to an offensive one, according to Ray Russell, a spokesman with Channel Industries Mutual Aid, a nonprofit that handles firefighting, rescue and hazardous material in the local refining and petrochemical industry.No serious injuries have been reported and the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.Schools, businesses closed As the fire burned, sending towering black clouds and a fireball into the sky late Tuesday, neighbors were worried about the heavy, dark smoke even as authorities sought to assure them the air quality remained in the good to moderate range.Before the fire was extinguished, several school districts near the facility, including Deer Park and La Porte, said they would be closed Wednesday and canceled after-school activities, due to the conditions from the fire and changes in the weather."Weather forecasts for Tuesday night and Wednesday call for conditions that could cause the smoke plume from the fire to directly affect our school district and, in an abundance of caution, La Porte ISD has decided to cancel classes for Wednesday, March 20," according to the district's statement.The school districts in the City of Pasadena, Channelview, Sheldon and Galena Park also announced they had canceled classes on Wednesday. San Jacinto College will also be closed.Schools and businesses had briefly reopened Tuesday, even as some worried about the air quality in the area. ITC said that air monitoring near the facility has shown readings "well below hazardous levels."Questions about air qualityRyan Sitton, a commissioner with the Railroad Commission of Texas, which regulates oil and natural gas in the state, said several teams, including those with the chemical facility and the Environmental Protection Agency, are monitoring the air quality."There is a plethora of air quality monitoring that is going on constantly, and it makes me confident that the people of the area are not at elevated risk right now," he said Tuesday.Despite such assurances, some health officials have expressed ongoing concern about the health impacts of the fire."I worry when officials say no health effects are expected," Winifred Hamilton, environmental health science director at the Baylor College of Medicine, told CNN affiliate KPRC-TV. "They're really talking about acute, immediate health effects, and we may still see some of those."The tanks that were on fire contained chemicals that go into making gasoline, including xylene, naptha and pyrolysis gasoline, known as Pygas.Sitton said that chemicals like xylene and toluene can burn in a "disgusting blob," but said there weren't toxins, but could contain particulates.Xylene is a solvent that occurs naturally in petroleum, ITC said. Swallowing or breathing the substance can cause death, while nonlethal exposure can cause eye, nose, throat and skin irritation, among other maladies, 3830

A former top White House official on Thursday delivered a full-throated rebuttal to the "fictional narrative" pushed by President Donald Trump and his GOP allies, while a US diplomat in the Ukrainian embassy provided impeachment investigators with a firsthand account of the President asking for an investigation of his political opponent.Fiona Hill, who served as Trump's top Russia adviser until she left the administration this summer, warned the House Intelligence Committee as part of the impeachment inquiry's last scheduled public hearing that the Kremlin is prepared to strike again in 2020 and remains a serious threat to American democracy that the United States must seek to combat."Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country — and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did," Hill said. "This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."Hill is testifying on Capitol Hill on Thursday alongside 1132

A confluence of factors led to 52 people being shot, 10 fatally, in Chicago over the weekend, including gangs, drugs, an ineffective justice system and a season of hot weather that often ushers bloodshed into the city, the police chief said Monday."Despite the investments and progress in safety, weekends like this remind us all of the challenges that we face and that they are complex and profound," Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters.In addition to seeing gangbangers settle conflicts with firearms, officers in the northern part of the city witnessed "tensions related to the open-air drug market that's occurring on the West Side," Deputy Chief Al Nagode said.After some of the gang violence on the West and South sides spilled into other neighborhoods, Johnson said, police increased patrols to stave off chances for retaliation. Police seized 92 guns, doubled the confiscations for a normal weekend, and made 18 gun-related arrests, the chief said.Johnson calls out courtsYet despite the Chicago Police Department's efforts -- which includes planting department brass among patrol teams -- Johnson said his officers need help from the courts and the community, especially during the summer months in which the city typically turns so violent.That Johnson's commanders were nearby when some of the shootings occurred -- one district commander was half a block away when someone was shot on Central Park Avenue -- demonstrates how brazen the gunmen are, the superintendent said."We cannot -- can't -- do this without the support of the community or a unified criminal justice system that keeps gun offenders out of our neighborhoods," Johnson said. "We know who a lot of these people are, and how do we know that? Because we keep arresting them ... so until we hold violent offenders accountable the way that they should be, we're going to continue to see this."He said half of the people arrested on gun charges are back on the street within a week. Asked to provide a breakdown of that figure, Johnson urged reporters to research it for themselves.His message, however, was clear: the Chicago Police Department is doing everything it can, but it needs the city to embrace an "all hands on deck" approach that includes residents, business leaders and community groups to do their parts, he said.'Accountability Mondays'The violent weekend came as the department announced Saturday that crime was down 9% in the first five months of 2019, compared with the same period last year.A statement released early Saturday said murders were down 7% and shootings were down 13% from January 1 through May 31, compared with 2018.There were 186 homicides through May 31, compared with 200 in the same period last year, according to a CPD statement.
