SHERIDAN STREET FACILITY PRESENTS RISK OF ANOTHER MY-WAY-TRADING-TYPE FIRE

(Richmond, IN)--It’s been more than three years now since the My Way Trading. That fire sent large plumes of black smoke into the air and forced the evacuation of hundreds in the Fairview area of Richmond.  There are still several lawsuits pending.  The fire was made much worse because massive amounts of plastic were packed into warehouses despite the city’s effort to have them removed.  Now, a similar situation exits at a facility on Sheridan Street.  "I've had conversations with the property owner who is working with the Sanitary District to try to negotiate the details associated with removing that material so that it can be taken off-site.  That was as recently as two or three weeks ago," said City Attorney A.J. Sickmann in response to a question from Richmond Common Council on Monday night.  The exact location of the facility on Sheridan Street was not revealed.
