EPA TO BEGIN FIRE SITE TESTING ON MONDAY

(Richmond, IN)--It’s now been a full month since the My Way Trading fire broke out.  On Thursday, Richmond Mayor Dave Snow issued an update and laid out what will happen next.  The Richmond Fire, Police, and Street Departments will all work with the EPA to mobilize more heavy equipment into the area for cleanup.  The EPA will begin to conduct on-site sampling beginning Monday.  Based on that, a plan will be developed to remove and dispose of the debris.  Snow said that the cleanup effort would take "quite some time."  A month later, there’s still no word on what caused the fire.
