DENHAM SPRINGS, La. (AP) - Almost a week after a massive fire in

a Denham Springs chemical warehouse drove them out, all families

evacuated are being allowed back home.

WAFB-TV reports that those affected by the fire at the Coco

Resources warehouse would be allowed back home at noon on Monday.

The Livingston Parish Emergency Management director said the

cause of the fire remains under investigation. Workers are still on

the scene.

The huge fire broke out at the facility on Tuesday, rocketing

55-gallon drums into the sky, forcing the evacuation of about 200

people and pulling in about 100 firefighters.
