WorkSafeNB investigates AIM fire
Fredericton Fire Department determined blaze Industrial recycling company was accidental
While a Thursday afternoon fire at an industrial recycling facility on Fredericton’s north side has been determined to be accidental in nature, the province’s workplace-safety watchdog is investigating.
Fredericton firefighters responded to a report of a fire at AIM Recycling at 400 Carman Ave. shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday and had the blaze contained and under control in less than two hours.
The fire department reported that a salvage trailer and a small pile of metal debris had caught fire in the incident.
It also had issued an air-quality advisory for a short time Thursday afternoon due to the nature of the material that was burning and advised people to steer clear of the area and to avoid breathing in any smoke.
