Follow Up: Inspection photos show aftermath of fire at Providence scrap-metal yard
VIDEO: A newly released environmental report shows inspectors want to test whether any contaminants entered the Providence River after a massive fire earlier this month erupted at an embattled scrap metal yard. R.I. Department of Environmental Management inspectors visited Rhode Island Recycled Metals on April 12 — hours after a large fire broke out and engulfed the city skyline with smoke overnight. Inspectors said they wanted to see whether any oil, hazardous waste or other contaminated materials had run off into the Providence River as a result of the fire, and they talked with one employee, who told them “the facility only takes in scrap metal and tries its best to ensure no liquids are associated with the scrap.” Recycled Metal officials have repeatedly said they suspect arson caused the fire.

New firefighter statue pops up at Firemen’s Memorial Park in Bristol
PHOTOS: It appeared suddenly about a week ago — first a granite base was sited on the south side of the Firemen’s Memorial Park, on the harbor at the bottom of Church Street. Then a bronze figure of a firefighter, slightly larger than life at 7 feet tall, was fixed to the base. But according to Chief Michael DeMello, the process was anything but sudden. The Firemen’s Memorial Welfare Committee has been fundraising and working on the plan for the sculpture for nearly two decades. “We’ve known for years it was something we wanted to do, but it took quite a bit of time to raise the money,” said DeMello. The total cost of the sculpture was about $80,000, paid for with donations and fundraisers. Victoria Guerina is the artist who created the Firefighter. Rhode Island-based, she is a member of the board of Art League RI.
