Roughly 70 firefighters from Sheboygan, Manitowoc Brown, and Calumet Counties spent hours fighting a fire at B&B Metals Processing in Newton on Saturday.
The 911 call was made around 1 Saturday afternoon – and employees assisted firefighters by pulling apart the scrap pile so fire crews could put out the flames, which generated a smoke plume that was visible from miles away.
The scrap was mostly vehicles and appliances – and was all outside of the buildings, so no structures were damaged in the blaze. Investigators are looking into the cause of the fire, and no injuries were reported.
