A massive fire erupted in Northeastern Ohio after a train derailment on Tuesday, causing an evacuation of the nearby village.

The incident occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, where a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed just after 8 a.m. local time. According to Fox News, the train was carrying mixed freight, including hazardous materials.

The derailment sparked a fire that quickly spread, forcing the evacuation of the entire village. The blaze was so intense that the local fire department had to call in assistance from neighboring towns.

Norfolk Southern has set up a family assistance center in East Palestine to help those affected by the incident. The center will be open this weekend to provide food, shelter and other resources to those in need.

The cause of the derailment is still under investigation. However, the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office has stated that the fire was likely caused by a mechanical failure.
