Multiple fires continued burning Wednesday morning within about 14 acres of various types of plastics stored both inside and outside buildings at the former factory site.
RICHMOND, Ind. — An evacuation order affecting more than 1,000 people was expected to remain in place through Wednesday around a large in an Indiana city near the Ohio border where crews worked through the night to douse piles of burning plastics, authorities said.
“We are attempting to put the fire out. We are not letting it burn. Evidently there’s some misinformation out there that we’re letting it burn,” he said.Between 1,500 and 2,000 people who live within a half-mile of the plant were told to leave after the fire began, said David Hosick, spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
“I think most everybody was exhausted. Long day. Traumatic. Everything’s up in the air,” Arthur told The Associated Press on Wednesday.Terry Snyder Jr. spent a restless night at the church Tuesday night with his parents, who are worried about their home of five years. All three were coughing from the smoke as both Snyder and his mother, Wendy, have asthma, while his father, Terry Snyder Sr., has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Jason Sewell, the on-scene coordinator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said the agency has been doing roving air sampling outside the evacuation area and into part of nearby Ohio, but no toxic compounds have been detected.
