Governor Josh Shapiro says his administration is continuing to be involved in the aftermath of Friday night’s train derailment in Eastern Ohio, close to the Beaver County line.
Yesterday, a controlled release of toxic chemicals created a fireball that could be seen for miles from East Palenstine, Ohio.
Shapiro believes nearby residents were able to evacuate before the burn.
“We believe all Pennsylvanians in the immediate area of concern evacuated before the controlled vent and burn,” Shapiro said. “I want to thank Pennsylvanians for listening to the important information coming from our first responders.”
Shapiro says his team continues to track the situation.
