The Latest on a warehouse complex fire in Houston (all times local):
1 p.m.
Officials say they're still working to identify what hazardous materials were released into the air during a warehouse complex fire in Houston but think pesticides might have been involved.
Houston Fire Department spokesman Ruy Lozano says investigators are waiting to speak with the property owners so they can help identify the products that burned Thursday.
Lozano says an alert ordering people in nearby homes and businesses to stay inside, close all windows and shut off any air conditioning was still in effect on Thursday afternoon.
Lozano says investigators think one of the products was a petroleum-based solvent.
