Men are the tip of the spear as we lead our households in the pursuit of this dominion.

Train derails outside Detroit, Michigan, with one car carrying hazardous materials
 
A train containing one car of hazardous materials has derailed Thursday in Van Buren Township outside Detroit, Michigan, reports say.
 
The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear.  
 
Police told Fox2 Detroit that there were no injuries and the area is not a hazmat situation.
 
Officials that spoke to WXYZ, which reported that at least six cars were seen off the track, said one of them was carrying hazardous materials.
 
The derailment comes less than two weeks after a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.
 
Police told Fox2 Detroit that roads will be closed in the area while an investigation is ongoing.
 
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy also said it is "aware of the train derailment in Van Buren Township, Wayne County, where initial reports indicate no threat to the public from the derailment.
 
"EGLE personnel are on their way to the scene to assist in assessing the situation," it added.

Biden admin turns down Ohio's request for disaster assistance after toxic derailment
 
The Biden administration turned down a request for federal disaster assistance from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in the aftermath of the train derailment in the state earlier this month that led to a large release of toxic chemicals.
 
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told Ohio's state government that it was not eligible for disaster assistance to help the community recover from the toxic spill, Dan Tierney, a spokesperson for DeWine, told Fox News Digital on Thursday. Tierney explained that FEMA believed the incident didn't qualify as a traditional disaster, such as a tornado or hurricane, for which it usually provides assistance.
 
"The DeWine Administration has been in daily contact with FEMA to discuss the need for federal support, however FEMA continues to tell Governor DeWine that Ohio is not eligible for assistance at this time," DeWine's office said in a statement earlier in the day. "Governor DeWine will continue working with FEMA to determine what assistance can be provided."
 
FEMA said that its team is in constant communication with DeWine's office, but didn't comment on the request for federal relief.
 
Tierney noted, though, that the governor was able to secure some health assistance from the Department of Health and Human Services that will go towards helping local residents with any medical care costs that stem from the incident.
 
Norfolk Southern has offered financial compensation to locals who were displaced and has worked with the Environmental Protection Agency and state officials to conduct air safety tests. Health officials have assured the public that tests have shown the area is safe.
