09-17-15 Scrapyard Fire Smokes Up City Skyline
A fire broke out in a scrapyard shortly before 2:00 this afternoon, sending up a plume of thick, black smoke that could be seen from virtually any part of town. The Chattanooga Fire Department responded with four fire companies to Mill Direct International, located at 2100 Rossville Avenue. The firefighters quickly set up their aerials and using their master streams, poured hundreds of gallons of water per minute in an effort to get the blaze under control. The fire was intense. Firefighters said much of what was burning were petroleum-based products, such as rubber, foam and plastics.
Captain David Thompson Jr. with Squad 1 said the firefighters would suppress the fire as much as possible with large amounts of water, and then use heavy machinery from the scrapyard to remove layers of scrap from the burning pile.
