This afternoon Lewiston firefighters rushed to North Lewiston for a blaze at Pacific Steel & Recycling. A press release from the LFD says the fire started at about 12:15 in some of the collected material outside on the lot. A heavy equipment operator picked up material with the claw and moved it to expose what was burning.
No one reported any injuries. Firefighters were on scene for more than an hour. The estimated cost of damage is about $5,000. There’s no word on what started the fire, but the LFD wants to remind everyone to only put appropriate materials in your blue recycling container.
