SNOW ASKS RESIDENTS TO STAY AWAY FROM FIRE SITE

(Richmond, IN)--There have been no new announcements in the last 24 hours from the city of Richmond on either its website or social media pages regarding the My Way Trading fire, but Mayor Dave Snow did address it at Monday night’s meeting of Richmond Common Council.  Snow asked this of residents:  "Please don't make your way to the site to see it.  Walking or driving to the site is still hazardous because of unstable structures and charred debris.  Please let our firefighters continue their work."  Snow said that, as of Monday night, there had been about a hundred requests for EPA intervention with debris removal and that about 200 cleaning kits had been distributed to residents.
