Twenty-four hours after the train derailment, the fire continues to burn. KDKA was kept about half a mile away from the scene in East Palestine, Ohio.

At this time, first responders are staying back, as hazardous materials release from the wreckage. Officials want people to know air quality remains safe. There still aren't any reports of injuries. All the community can do is wait and let the experts do their job.

"This is the beginning of a long process," said Michael Graham, National Transportation and Safety Board member.

A federal investigation is officially underway into what caused a train to derail near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border on Friday evening. The NTSB arrived Saturday afternoon in the village of East Palestine, with Graham acting as a spokesperson.

"Our team methodically and systematically reviews all evidence and considers all potential factors to determine the probable cause and make any necessary, safety recommendations," Graham added.
