"...As for how it happened, the city said an SUV crashed through the fence of a nearby Walmart and hit an above-ground valve, sparking the fire. Energy Transfer officials said they turned off the gas and are allowing the remnants to burn off. Tuesday morning, they said the burn-off would go through later in the day.

They added that this was the safest way to manage the incident. Energy Transfer said they are also providing lodging for those affected. ...

Hundreds of residents between Luella Dr. and Canada and Spencer Highway and Oakhaven/Eagle Run were advised to evacuate. Heritage Elementary and College Park Elementary were also evacuated, along with a nearby H-E-B and Walmart.

Firefighters were spraying nearby homes to try and protect them but smoke could be seen coming from some rooftops. ,,,"
 
TBD whether this was an accident or an intentional attack on energy infrastructure.
