Fire Breaks Out in Several Hazardous Material-Carrying Train Cars in North Dakota


A train derailment occurred in North Dakota early Friday morning, with 25 to 30 cars derailing and catching fire. The train was carrying hazardous materials including anhydrous ammonia, sulfur, and methanol. Authorities have been monitoring air quality in the area due to the intact hazardous materials. Canadian Pacific Kansas City, the train operator, is coordinating a response with local officials to fight the fires and remove the train cars. Crews are working to extinguish the fires within the next 12 to 18 hours but removing the train cars may take more than a week. A voluntary evacuation has been issued for residents within a one-mile radius of the derailment. The cause of the derailment is under investigation, and it is unclear if any hazardous materials have leaked into water sources. The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating the incident. The engineer and conductor on board the train escaped safely. Authorities are focused on containing the spill and preventing pollution. Residents in the area have been notified of the incident and potential hazards.
