East Palestine police officers and officers with two state agencies were involved, according to the police department's release. DeWine and Shapiro ordered the immediate evacuation of hundreds of residents within a 1-mile by 3-mile area surrounding East Palestine on Feb. [rail car axle caused the fiery derailment](https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2023/02/06/east-palestine-train-wreck-national-transportation-safety-board-announces-cause/69875437007/) of about 50 freight cars, 10 of which contained hazardous materials, in East Palestine on Feb. Runoff from the derailment impacted Sulphur Run, Leslie Run, Bull Creek, North Fork Little Beaver Creek, LittleBeaver Creek and the Ohio River, the Ohio EPA said. The vinyl chloride contents of five rail cars were unstable and the cars were at risk of exploding, which could have launched deadly shrapnel into the air. Law enforcement from both Ohio and Pennsylvania went door-to-door to ensure any remaining residents left before the controlled release. The gas was slowly released into a trough that was then set on fire, creating a large plume above East Palestine. It is believed that most residents left the area before the evacuation, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency said. The highest levels of vinyl chloride are often found in the air near factories that produce it, and workers at these factories can be exposed to the gas. To prevent an explosion, Norfolk Southern Railroad executed a controlled release of the vinyl chloride around 3:30 p.m. Burning it sends phosgene, a toxic gas that was used as a weapon during World War I, and hydrogen chloride into the air. Residents were allowed to return home last week after about 50 train cars, 10 of which carried hazardous materials, derailed in East Palestine on Feb.
