Plastics Fire Shuts Down Freeway
A FIRE LATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON at a plastics recycling plant in Riverside, California was notable for its huge plume of black, toxic smoke. A nearby freeway interchange was shut down during the evening rush hour and the Riverside County health authorities had to declare a health emergency.
The rapidly-spreading outside fire quickly engulfed an acre yard filled with wooden pallets, cardboard boxes and piles of plastic.
