A large industrial fire broke out early Monday, June 30, at a waste treatment facility on Detroit’s east side, according to Detroit Fire Department officials.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but Deputy Chief Micheal Borg said during a news conference that a delivery driver at the facility — Aevitas Specialty Services Corp., located the 600 block of Lycaste Street — heard a pop and saw smoke around 5 a.m., and firefighters responded shortly after.
Borg said around 50 firefighters have been to the scene.
WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) reported witnesses saw black smoke shooting into the sky. Borg said there’s about 100,000 gallons of used oil on the site and burning oil creates black smoke.
The smoke is now white as the Detroit Fire Department gained control of the fire. Borg said the company is working to offload product from the site.
“We’re going to continue to monitor for 24 hours or until it is totally mitigated,” Borg told reporters. He added that the team will likely be at the scene for at least eight hours.
One firefighter injured his back and is being treated at a nearby hospital.
Borg said there have been no evacuations of nearby neighborhoods, and the air quality is being monitored.
