It’s an old recycling center that closed in 2009.

Take a look at the evacuation radius around the fire. What a joke…and the IN fire Marshall says it is highly toxic.

No offense to anyone else, but I hope the wind direction doesn’t change, but it likely will.

They’re saying it could burn for days.

All rail traffic nearby is delayed until morning as of now, but is subject to change.

Here’s a panoramic picture my son and my son took at 6:40pm…left to right, likewise due northwest to due east. Northwest is 35 minutes away…23 miles.
