Fire at Coxheath scrapyard near Sydney burns hundreds of cars

Cape Breton firefighters say 60 vehicles were fully engulfed by flames in a pile of 500 cars at a scrapyard just outside Sydney, N.S. Tuesday night.

More than 60 firefighters led by the Coxheath Volunteer Fire Department responded to the fire. 

Reports of the fire came around 7:15 p.m. and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality said firefighters are expected remain on scene into the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The CBC's Gary Mansfield reports there was no water supply on hand so fire crews brought in water trucks.

A crane was at the scene to lift the vehicles out of the way, which were stacked several cars high. The fire was isolated to one area of the scrapyard and fire crews worked to keep it from spreading.

River Metals Recycling yard achieves SHARP recognition

River Metals Recycling (RMR), headquartered in Crescent Springs, Kentucky, has announced that its Owensboro, Kentucky, scrap metal recycling facility has received the SHARP (Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program) designation from the U.S. Department of Labor.

RMR says that the Owensboro facility is the company’s second in Kentucky to receive the award. The facility was recognized for its commitment to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace. RMR’s Newport, Kentucky, facility received SHARP designation in late 2013.

Bob Eviston, RMR president, thanked the employees of the Owensboro facility for their contribution to the company’s success and for operating for six straight years without any work-related injuries or illnesses. “Congratulations to all RMR Owensboro teammates on receiving SHARP certification," he said. "It is yet another testament to safety being our No. 1 core value. Safety is nothing without a genuine, passionate and ongoing commitment by all of our people. I want to thank the entire RMR team for their continuing safety focus.”

RMR, the largest scrap recycler in Kentucky, has nine locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The company is owned by The David J. Joseph Co. (DJJ), one of the largest scrap brokers/processors in the United States.
