Fire Rages In Tank Car After San Antonio Derailment
SAN ANTONIO Texas AP A blaze continued to rage early today in one railroad tank car following a derailment and explosion that injured five people and forced as many as 2000 to be evacuated. Authorities said the fire near Salado Creek bridge remained dangerous with a half mile around the site off limits. Fire crews built dams to contain spills from the burning car containing butadiene while other cars’ contents were uncertain. Mayor Henry Cisneros said officials opted to let the fire burn out rather than flood the creek with water.
