We did the best we can. The number one goal was public safety, and we accomplished that. Nobody was injured. Nobody died. And there was very few injuries from the recovery process so far. So I commend everybody for that. And I just want to thank everybody involved, all the agencies, the highway, state patrol, the governor, the sheriff's department, our local PD, EMS and all the all the fire departments that came. 78 people came out of their house, most of them volunteers, to come help put the fire out in our little town. So I would just like to thank all of them. And that's all I have to say. Thank you."WFMJ - PART NO RE-SALE, RE-USE OR ARCHIVE; MUST CREDIT 21WFMJNEWS; NO ACCESS YOUNGSTOWN; NO USE BY US BROADCAST NETWORKSEast Palestine, Ohio - 3 February 2023++NIGHT SHOTS++10.

The village's mayor expressed relief that the evacuation had been lifted."We know everybody's frustrated. Everybody wants to be in their homes. We did the best we can," said Mayor Trent Conaway. "The number one goal is public safety, and we accomplished that. Nobody was injured, nobody died." He credited the village's part-time firefighters and their quick response to the derailment for saving the town.Some residents have said they were worried about returning even if authorities say it's OK to go home despite reassurances from officials. It's unlikely though, Justice said, that there be would any dangerous levels of toxins inside any homes or businesses based on readings from air monitors around the community.  Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said some residents may want to wait until their homes are checked. Rail operator Norfolk Southern Railway said it would provide testing and continue to operate its family assistance center "for the foreseeable future." Testing on rivers, streams and drinking water wells will continue throughout the area and in the nearby Ohio River.The fire from the chemical release is no longer burning, and crews have started removing some of the wreckage. About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday night on the edge of East Palestine. Federal investigators say a mechanical issue with a rail car axle caused the derailment.No injuries have been reported from the derailment or from the controlled release of the chemicals, but some people complained about smelling chlorine and smoke in the air and having headaches. At least one lawsuit has been filed over the derailment. An East Palestine business owner and two other residents sued Norfolk Southern in federal court on Tuesday, alleging negligence by the company and exposure to toxic substances as a result. They're seeking to make it a class-action case for residents and businesses in the evacuated area and people who were physically harmed because of spilled chemicals at the site.Norfolk Southern declined to comment on the lawsuit.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
