Update: Crews to remain overnight after massive fire at Shercom Industries
Saskatoon fire crews are expected to remain overnight to monitor the toxic remains of a massive blaze at a rubber recycling business.
Multiple reports came in of a fire at Shercom Industries, just off Highway 11, shortly after 7 p.m. Monday.
More than 25 personnel, with 17 fire vehicles from Saskatoon and Warman, worked to contain the blaze that proved a difficult fight.
“This is a particularly challenging fire because we don’t have a great water supply, so we’re shuttling water with the tankers,” said Dave Bykowy with the Saskatoon Fire Department.
