Around 8:55 p.m., 38 of the train's cars derail in East Palestine. The derailed equipment includes 11 tank cars carrying hazardous materials that ignited, fueling fires that damage another dozen cars, the National Transportation Safety Board says. Feb. 4- Members of the US Environmental Protection Agency arrive hours after the derailment and start monitoring the air for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as vinyl chloride and butyl acrylate, which were on the train and can be harmful to people, the agency says. EPA contractors install booms and underflow dams to try to restrict the flow of contaminated water and collect floating material to mitigate any possible impacts to Sulphur Run and Leslie Run streams./n
