Rail operator CSX says that a chemical fire at a Kentucky train derailment that caused evacuations has been extinguished and residents can return to their homes. Authorities reviewed air monitoring data and decided it was safe to let people return to the small town of Livingston. The CSX train derailed around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday near the remote town with about 200 people in Rockcastle County. Two of the 16 cars that derailed carried molten sulfur, which caught fire after the cars were breached. It’s believed that the fire released the potentially harmful gas sulfur dioxide.

This is the third chemical leak at the plant. The previous leaks were in March and June.

The spill happened after a train derailed on Feb. 3 in East Palestine, Ohio, near the Pennsylvania border.

There will be $10 million of American Rescue Plan funding used for the work.

Kentucky Attorney General and Republican gubernatorial hopeful Daniel Cameron said in a news release Thursday that President Joe Biden should classify fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction."

The source of the spill was later found by New Albany Storm Water personnel and an environmental clean-up company was called.
