Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on Thursday that he will not visit a small Minnesota town that was evacuated after a Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) train derailed and caught fire earlier that morning.

Raymond, Minn., residents who live within a half mile from the derailment site were evacuated after approximately 22 cars derailed and four caught on fire around 1:00 a.m. CST. The train was carrying mixed freight including ethanol and corn syrup.

Buttigieg tweeted on Thursday that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is at the derailment site and an investigation will be launched but told CNN host Don Lemon during CNN This Morning that he would not personally be visiting the scene.
