Probably natural gas or gasoline fire. They use the same pipes for both. It'll burn until it runs out of fuel. All they can do is keep the putting water on the surrounding structures until it burns out. I love out the local news in Houston is so fucking ignorant of the surrounding chemical plants and refineries and put out horseshit news articles. If that were an explosion those houses and cars near by would be seriously fucked up.
