A fire burning at a recycling plant in Richmond, Indiana, is mostly out, but hundreds remain evacuated from their homes as crews monitor the air for chemicals and collect potentially harmful debris from neighboring schools and homes, officials said Saturday.
Richmond residents who live within a half a mile radius of the recycling plant -- about 2,000 of Richmond's 35,000 residents -- have been under a mandatory evacuation order since Tuesday, when the massive inferno exploded at the plastic-filled recycling plant in Richmond, sending thick, black smoke over the area.
Those downwind from the fire were asked to continue to shelter in place "if they feel they are in danger or find themselves in a smoke plume," emergency officials said. Inside the facility, there are hot spots and occasional small fires that will continue to smolder for days and produce smoke, soot or the smell of burnt plastic, emergency officials said.
Crews in protective gear began collecting debris from three schools near the fire site on Saturday, including three in Richmond and one school in Ohio. At the fire zone's center, the chemicals hydrogen cyanide, benzene, chlorine, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, were detected, the EPA said Friday. They were not detected outside the evacuation zone, the agency said.
