Is the site still owned by @UrbanProvincial? - fumes are stronger and more noxious even with windows closed. What is burning? Is it hazardous to health? My asthma has triggered and I have it mildly so hate to think what it’s doing to babies etc

The serious fire at the waste processing site on Shakespeare Rd is very troubling
I’m contacting the site’s owners & fire brigade about residents’ concerns that there appeared to be no fire alarms or sprinklers on the site, so close to many homes
