Brent Coon files lawsuit stemming from chemical release in Orange County

The Orange County Emergency Management Office says ethyl acrylate was released in controlled flaring from a railcar Thursday at the Eagle Railcar site on Foreman Road.

It led to a shelter-in-place request for residents of West Orange, Bridge City and Orangefield, and the closure of FM 1006. The shelter was lifted by 8 p.m.
