Firefighters are still dealing with a fire that has burned since a train derailed and exploded early today just south of the Ohio State Fairgrounds, shooting flames that illuminated the night sky. The derailment occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on a curve on the Norfolk Southern track just west of Fields Avenue and south of E. 11th Avenue. Ten to 11 cars derailed, and some of them contain ethanol.
