Crews battle oil train blaze in Canada
Emergency crews battled a massive fire after a Canadian National tanker train carrying oil and gas derailed west of Edmonton, Alberta, overnight. No injuries have been reported so far.
Canadian National spokesman Louis-Antoine Paquin said 13 cars – four carrying petroleum crude oil and nine loaded with liquified petroleum gas – came off the tracks around 1am in the hamlet of Gainford, about 50 miles (80 kms) from Edmonton.
