Wow, I hope no one got hurt. I use Sims Metal Manegment in Chesapeake VA.

Oh no, that's so bad for them. Hopefully they can get it contained. I know that's got to be a tough job putting out a fire that is in such an irregular area like a scrap pile. It looks like they only have one building on fire, maybe a shred sorting building. That's going to be expensive take time to replace. Maybe there weren't too many people working since it was close to midnight when it started, but pray for the safety of the firefighters and everyone else involved.

also hope no one got hurt unless your bringing in tons here sims dosnt pay much.
