However, the danger of an explosion has increased over the weekend due to officials continuing to monitor the levels of vinyl chloride as well as other chemicals. Under threat of arrest, officials have been directing people to evacuate within a 1-by-2 mile area. They cited the possible release of gas and the possibility of an explosion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFolks in [the] red area are at risk of death,\u201d DeWine added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Governor DeWine \u201cFolks in red area are at risk of death.\u201d These evacuations must be done. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WPXI<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X3MBD3zEZL\">pic.twitter.com\/X3MBD3zEZL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Amy Hudak (@amy_hudak) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/amy_hudak\/status\/1622655009220354048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 6, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Between 1,500 and 2,000 of the town\u2019s 4,900 residents were covered by the evacuation order, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2023\/feb\/5\/ohio-train-wreck-caused-mechanical-defect-ntsb-say\/\">according<\/a> to The Washington Times.
