WRTV is tracking updates live from Richmond, Indiana, where a fire at an industrial warehouse has led to the evacuation of more than 2,000 residents.
An evacuation order affecting more than 2,000 people was expected to remain in place through Wednesday around a large industrial fire in Richmond where crews worked through the night to douse piles of burning plastics, authorities said.
EPA will continue 24-hour air monitoring at the response. Monitoring takes place at the ground level. During the fire, smoke rises with the heat. Once the fire cools down, EPA anticipates seeing more smoke at ground level. The agency started collecting debris samples in the surrounding community to determine whether asbestos-containing materials may have left the site. Asbestos-containing materials may be present due to the age of the building. EPA reminds residents to leave any debris alone and not touch it until EPA sample results are back. Do not mow over the debris. Once officials determine the nature of debris, new information will be shared.
