Description
Fires have always been a concern at materials management facilities, but in recent years evidence suggests the risk has intensified. While data exists on the number of fires at these facilities, there is limited information on the causes, what management practices are used, and the overall impact of these incidents. This report aims to address these gaps by analyzing survey data collected from material recovery facilities (MRFs), transfer stations, and metals recycling facilities. Respondents provided information on the frequency and scale of fires, suspected causes, fire prevention strategies, and estimated damages.
