November ?? Report: 2024 Is The Worst Year Yet for Waste & Recycling Facility Fires As we near the end of 2024, it is important to address the notable number of fire incidents the #waste and recycling industry has experienced so far this year. In fact, we are on track for 2024 to be the highest year ever for industry #fire incidents. In this month’s article, I also highlight the latest fire data and further explain some of Fire Rover’s ambitious efforts to reduce fires at #scrapmetal (recycled material) operations with an interview with my counterpart Lindsey Scharg. "Effective fire prevention starts with proper?pile management, separation and preparation; however, many operators find it’s not always possible to shred to the ground or ship out nightly (for feeder yards). Additionally, many operators simply do not have the space, acreage, laborers or rolling stock to consistently move smaller piles to and from the shredder pad. Even so, while executing the best housekeeping, training and equipment, fire is still rampant. Sadly, a tiny flare from a propane tank in a 5 mph wind can quickly escalate and spread through cars, iron and turning piles. This can then escalate further and become a newsworthy, community-angering headache.?In reality we are dealing with heavy winds, rain, sunlight, snow and every element mother nature can send our way in an effort to thwart our efforts." "By embracing remote #firefighting #technologies, #metal #recycling yards can quickly address fire #flareups, #mitigaterisks more effectively and protect their personnel, property and community—all while enhancing the speed and precision of #firesuppression. We worked with our metal recycling clients and created the Fire Rover Continuous Flow System, which features an unlimited water supply (tank or municipally supplied) to match the magnitude of fuel in metal piles, adapts to onsite water availability and currently protects more than 200 feet of distance with a flow rate exceeding more than 540 gallons of water per minute."

Waste Connections Targets #FireSafety and Prevention at Plainfield, Ill. MRF The new Plainfield MRF sits on the site of its predecessor, a system that suffered a total equipment and building loss after a fire in 2021. Waste Connections’ local team worked with their design and construction contractors on building extra measures into the new MRF design for fire safety and prevention.
