Saint John residents raise concerns about American Iron and Metal fire at town hall

Calls to permanently shutter the recycling business have continued to grow since Sept. 14.

Hazel Anderson, who lives in Saint John, said she has ongoing concerns about the more long-term complications of the fire.

The fire was reported at 1:36 a.m. on Sept. 14 and crews battled the fire for more than 40 hours, using 2 million gallons of water. It prompted a voluntary shelter-in-place order for the whole city and any regions where smoke could be seen or smelled. The province commissioned a task force to investigate how the fire started and the impacts of it. The Department of Environment issued a stop-work order and AIM won’t be able to resume until the investigation is complete.
