A train derailment in Georgia Tuesday resulted in a multi-agency response that crews said worked well.

The relationship Warner Robins firefighters have with other departments made the incident run smoothly, 

Chief Ross Moulton told WMAZ reporters in addition to a helicopter, they used drones to get a good look at the incident that occurred across from Robins Air Force base.

The train was carrying molten sulphur that is used in fertilizer, rubber and solvents. Crews determined there was no leak so there were no evacuations.

"Lots of different people working together for a good outcome," Moulton said adding that the training made it happen.
