ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Authorities say a fire in a large scrap debris pile Monday at an industrial site in St. Paul sent a towering plume of smoke over the area.
Firefighters responded about 1:30 p.m. to the blaze at a scrap metal processing facility near Pig’s Eye Lake. They used a ladder truck and several engines in an effort to control the fire in frigid weather, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.
“It will probably be a long process to pull it apart with heavy equipment to make sure the fire is out,” .Deputy Fire Chief Roy Mokosso said.
No injuries were reported.
