A massive fire that engulfed a petrochemical storage facility outside Houston over the weekend is still burning, sending large plumes of smoke into the air. But officials say there is no immediate threat to public health as firefighters struggle to stop the blaze from growing. The fire began Sunday at the Intercontinental Terminals Co. facility in Deer Park, Texas, about 15 miles outside of Houston. But any harmful chemicals in the air are high enough that they aren’t impacting human health, officials said.
