This report declares that the railroad company itself started the blaze.

“Norfolk Southern discharged more cancer-causing Vinyl Chloride into the environment in the course of a week than all industrial emitters combined did in the course of a year,” the suit alleges, claiming that the company chose to burn the vinyl chloride, turning it into a highly toxic gas, rather than disposing of it safely.

What is bizarre to me is that Norfolk Southern started burning the chemicals three days after the derailment.

NTSB has said there was a problem with a axle or break, there is also a video. Not " it takes more time for staff to examine such a train" seems like the crew was cutting corners from being lazy. The tracks have devices that monitor the cars and the crew might have ignored the warnings.
