"A train carrying oil derailed in Ontario, the company that owns the train said Saturday, which sparked a fire but no casualties.

The train jumped the tracks at approximately 2:45 am. Emily Hamer, a spokesperson for CN Rail, said in a statement that the company was responding to a derailment 2 miles northwest of Gogama, located in northern Ontario.

'There are no reports of injuries, but the crew has reported a fire at the derailment site,' Hamer said. 'Emergency crews are conducting a full site assessment and activating the emergency response plan with local officials. The train is a unit train carrying crude oil.'"
