Halifax crews fighting fire at scrap metal yard in Goodwood
He said the fire is largely concentrated in a big pile of rubble, which he estimated to be 50 feet tall, about 100 feet wide and 200 feet long.
“There are huge piles of cars and whatnot, fridges and stuff, that has combustible materials, so it’s not just metal,” he said. “There’s no threat to anyone as far as fire spreading, it’s just a smoke hazard in the area, where the cloud cover’s holding smoke down.”Submitted by Geoff Garber A section of Prospect Road at the intersection of Mills Drive has been blocked off due to the smoke. Garber said he doesn’t believe anyone has been evacuated, and noted the fire is in an industrial area and there are not many people living nearby.
