Feds investigate Texas plant fire that killed 1

HOUSTON (AP) — Federal safety officials are investigating a fire at a refinery east of Houston that killed one worker.

Investigators found the remains of Rick Shaw late Wednesday, more than 24 hours after a fire ignited in what may have been a ruptured pipeline that carried natural gas.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration says its investigation opened Tuesday, shortly after the fire started at the sprawling Enterprise Products plant in Mont Belvieu.

Enterprise spokesman Rick Rainey has said the company is investigating the cause of the fire, and pipeline failure would be considered.
