A thick, black column of smoke darkened the skies over Richmond Indiana as ‘My Way Trading Warehouse’ was set ablaze by a fire that began in an 18-wheeler.
Large columns of black smoke rose into the air in Richmond on Tuesday afternoon after a tractor-trailer truck caught fire, which in turn set alight the My Way Trading Warehouse that was storing plastic and recycled materials.
