Good morning; as of 6:00 AM, the fire continues to burn; however, we are seeing a significant decrease in pressure within the line, and the situation is steadily improving. First Responders and partner emergency response teams, along with industry partners, continue to manage the incident safely. We will continue to monitor the fire and conduct air quality assessments.
A third-party air monitor contracted by Energy Transfer and Harris County HazMat has checked San Jacinto College and both La Porte ISD campuses to ensure the safety of students and staff.
At this time, there are no significant health concerns for the community, but residents are encouraged to stay informed through official updates and avoid the affected area if possible.
The existing road closures, including the evacuation area, will remain in effect. We will provide another update later this morning. Spencer Highway is closed between Canada and Underwood.
