Fire in the east end
Thursday morning there’s a fire in a metal recycling yard in the east end, producing a lot of smoke. Photos from TVA.
Midday, it’s reported that the city has revoked the permit of the firm, but that this is a coincidence and it was going to do that anyway. Public health issued a recommendation for people with respiratory weaknesses to stay indoors.

I didn’t see any smoke from downtown/Westmount, but there was a nasty plastic-burning smell now and then. I thought my bike might have been on fire for a moment. 🙂
