(Richmond, IN)--The health and environmental effects of the My Way Trading fire continue to linger on the minds of residents and public officials.  The EPA is taking hundreds of samples from 34 locations.  Jason Sewell with the EPA said materials associated with smoke have been detected, but said this about particular chemicals of concern.  "We have not detected any of the other compounds that we're analyzing for at this time."  Solid materials that came from the fire were also tested as far as a mile and a half away.  Two samples were taken.  "One of the samples was positive for asbestos," Sewll explained.  Sewell said that anyone who finds any material in their yards should leave it alone and not mow over it for now.  City officials also said that streams and the Whitewater River have been tested and no abnormalities have been found.  There are also no fish or wildlife kills downstream.  As of Friday morning, the evacuation order for those who live within a half-mile of the My Way Trading fire remains in place.  There are two key elements in getting it lifted.  One is getting the fire out.  That happened Thursday night.  Here’s Fire Chief Tim Brown talking about the other element.  "I want to get the plume taken care of to where it's not floating into the neighborhoods.".  The decision about when to lift the evacuation will be a joint effort of the fire department and the EPA.  Once the evacuation order is lifted and residents return home, they’ll be offered clean-up kits from the Wayne County Health Department.
