EDINBURGH – On Friday, January 12, at approximately 5:35 p.m., Edinburgh Police and Fire were dispatched to a fire at Group Metal Recycling Business at 111 North Holland Street.
Upon arrival, firefighters found the business fully engulfed in fire. Multiple agencies were dispatched to the large warehouse fire, which took approximately two hours to get under control due to the business having a lot of vehicle parts, oil, and propane tanks throughout the building.
The roof of the building collapsed minutes after crews arrived at the scene.
Firefighters set up hand lines when they arrived at the scene to protect areas to the south and west of the blaze.
The structure is a total loss.
No injuries were reported in the fire, and no one was inside the business at the time of the fire.
Edinburgh Police, Edinburgh Fire, and the Indiana State Fire Marshals office are currently investigating the cause of the fire. If anyone has any information about this fire, please call Chief Doyne Little at 812-526-3500 or email at dlittle@edinburgh.in.us.
