More than 2,000 residents are under evacuation orders after a fire engulfed an Indiana recycling plant, officials say. The mayor of Richmond, Indiana, called the incident a 'worst-case scenario' in a phone interview with ABC News.
due to the "large industrial fire," local officials said.
Anyone who can see the large smoke plume from the fire should shelter in place, according to officials. "We want everyone to limit their exposure to that black smoke and stay far away from the area," Snow said. "Not only is it a dangerous area right now ... limiting your exposure to this black smoke is the best thing for your health."
"There is an odor, a burning odor," Stevens said. "What is more disheartening is the fact that I'm hearing explosions and pops this far away."
