Officials are telling residents displaced by the massive fertilizer plant explosion in Texas that tanks on site are leaking gas and causing small fires.
They say the fires are contained, but they are preventing those who live nearby from returning to their homes in the town of West.
Paramedic Bryce Reed visited a hotel crammed with displaced residents on Saturday and gave a short briefing.
Reed, who is also a spokesman for West, said there may be reports of "another explosion in West," but warned that those are exaggerated.
He said the leaks were caused by tanks damaged by heat and had triggered small fires. He said no further evacuations were necessary.
Wednesday night's explosion killed 14 people.
Many West residents as growing frustrated from not being allowed to go back home and assess the damage and begin repairing their homes.
Many homeowners spent all day Saturday at City Hall hoping to get an update from officials on when the road blocks will be lifted and they’ll be allowed to start picking up the pieces at home.
"We just want to get back home and get to fixing the house up. Get back to life. I know there's a lot of stuff that needs to be done to the perimeter," said displaced resident Pete Arias. "But it's not a huge perimeter."
Pete Arias, his wife Jackie and his 8-year-old son Sam have been staying with his mother in Waco.
Their house in the 900 block of Main Street was damaged but not destroyed in the explosion but they can’t return to retrieve supplies, clothes or toiletries.
"I'm trying to stay calm about the whole situation. We're in an area where all the windows shattered and the garage doors are damaged. We all suffered the same damage on that block. Nobody's house was totally floored, or totally destroyed. We should be allowed to get in there and try and fix some of the damage to the house," he said.
Jackie Arias said she's also frustrated. She's worried about the toll it's taking on the town's children.
"Our son has to go to school on Monday, and it's like, you want your life to come back together. Especially for the kids, it's so important to keep them on schedule. Because if you don't, they know something's wrong in their world," she said.
Classes will resume on Monday and many parents said they have no idea how the school bus routes will be affected in the area.
Earlier Saturday, federal investigators said residents may be let back in soon.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms spokeswoman Franceska Perot said it's a "possibility" that some families Saturday will be allowed into their damaged neighborhoods.
Local officials said early Saturday they were waiting on clearance from ATF to update residents. Perot said there are other agencies still working the site besides ATF.
A news conference from authorities was expected Saturday morning but was postponed indefinitely. The Texas Department of Public Safety said it hoped to give out new information "by the end of the day."
