Hancock County Train Derailment and Fire(Arcadia, OH)
At approximately 2 AM a Norfolk and Southern train traveling from Chicago to NC detrailed near the Blanchard Valley Co-Op west of Arcadia, OH (East of Findlay, OH). Tankers carrying Ethanol subequently caught on fire.
Here are links to the 1st hour from my feed that I have compressed and removed non-related traffic.
Time Frame 1 (1:55 AM to 2:26AM) Edited Traffic Starts Around 2:10 AM with Deputies seeing the glow from the fire not knowing what it was.
Time Frame 1a (Approximately 2:15AM): Washington Twp Firefighter trying to raise the dispatcher on the OLD frequency (still used to set off pagers). This audio was not recorded on my feed, but on my old scanner I happened to have setup to record VOX audio of dispatches. In Time Frame 1 you can hear 701 attempt to raise Fire Dispatch to relay the 300 unit's message, but they're already paging out Washington Twp based on SO units reports and incoming 911 calls.
Time Frame 2 (2:25 to 2:55 AM) Continued Audio
I am working on the next hour will have have it up after a while.
Time Frame 3 (2:55AM to 3:25AM) Near the end is when some of the Tanker Cars Explode.
UPDATE:
Just added Time Frame 3
