North Adams Scrapyard Fire Contained; Ruled As Accident

Mayor Thomas Bernard and Fire Chief Brent Lefebvre held a press briefing Wednesday Morning.
Update: The fire was declared out at 10 a.m. on Wednesday almost exactly 24 hours after it was reported Tuesday. 
It took dozens of firefighters from as far away as Orange and Northampton to aid in bringing the massive blaze under control. By noon, all units had been released and North Adams firefighters were cleaning up tools and equipment. 
"As of 10 o'clock this morning, we concluded firefighting operations. All known hotspots have been extinguished. We've turned the property back over to the owners, Apkin," said Fire Chief Brent Lefebvre. "Now we're conducting cleanup operations hitting all of our equipment placed back into service and decon from all the dirt and mud and the contamination that were on scene."
