Radius scrap metal yard ordered to submit a fire prevention plan — appeals it
"Two months after two massive and preventable scrap metal fires at #RadiusRecycling in 2024 sent plumes of #ToxicFumes and metal particulates over North Portland and Linnton, the North Peninsula Review discovered that the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality sent an enforcement letter to the company alleging that Radius was operating an unpermitted solid waste disposal site and assessing a $29,580 civil penalty. The notice included an order to submit a fire prevention plan by September 30, 2024. "

And in #PortlandOR ... Large pile fire at #RadiusRecycling sends smoke over North Portland; second fire at site this year
The plume of smoke could be seen from downtown Portland. Portland Fire & Rescue said the fire was in a scrap pile at a recycling facility.
By Anthony Macuk (KGW), Amy-Xiaoshi DePaola
July 17, 2024PORTLAND, Ore. — "A fire at a Radius Recycling metal recycling facility in the St. Johns neighborhood broke out Wednesday afternoon, sending up a plume of black smoke visible from as far away as downtown Portland. There were no injuries reported to first responders or plant personnel, according to Portland Fire & Rescue, and it took about five hours to get the blaze under control.
"The Radius Recycling facility is located in an industrial area along the Willamette River between the Port of Portland's Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. A PF&R news release describes the company as being "affiliated with" #SchnitzerSteel; the company's website says Schnitzer Steel rebranded to Radius Recycling last year.
"Wednesday's incident was the second major fire at the scrapyard this year; a previous debris fire broke out on the evening of May 9, producing a large amount of smoke, although in that case fire crews were able to put it out in about an hour.
"Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R) first tweeted about Wednesday's fire at around 1:30 p.m., describing it as a large fire in a scrap pile at the recycling facility, and said aerial ladder pipes were being set up to start putting it out. PF&R later added that the fire was in at least two piles and a nearby structure was in danger of being caught up in the blaze."

Viral Fire-Safety Clip Mislabels Wengding as Shirakawa-go
Not Shirakawa-go — this viral fire cannon clip matches Wengding Village, where devastating fires led to real, modern protection systems.Dear Cherubs, the internet has once again looked at one dramatic clip and confidently picked the wrong village. A video of autonomous water cannons was widely shared as Shirakawa-go in Japan, but the setting lines up much better with Wengding in Yunnan, China — because apparently two heritage villages with fire-fighting systems are now expected to file paperwork proving they are not each other. As noted by thisclaimer.com, this is the sort of mix-up social media produces when it is in a hurry and allergic to map-reading.
THE REAL LOCATION
Wengding is a Wa ethnic village in southwest China’s Yunnan province, and it has a real fire story behind those sprinklers. Xinhua reported that a fire in February 2021 reduced about 100 traditional Wa thatched cottages to ashes, while South China Morning Post reported that 107 homes were destroyed and only four traditional houses remained. The village was later rebuilt at the original site and reopened to visitors.
That context matters. The clip is not just a neat gadget demo; it is a fire-protection response shaped by a devastating loss. Recent research on Wengding describes the village’s traditional homes as bamboo-wood, thatched, and built on stilt-like structures, which is exactly the kind of architecture that does not enjoy surprise visits from flames.
WHY SHIRAKAWA-GO GOT PULLED IN
Shirakawa-go, to be fair, really does have a serious fire-prevention setup. UNESCO says the Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama use water cannons, alarms, extinguishers, cisterns and pump facilities, and that residents operate the cannons when needed. UNESCO also notes that the gassho-zukuri houses are wooden structures with thatched roofs, so fire prevention is not some decorative side quest.
Mainichi reported that 59 cannons were tested during a fire drill at the World Heritage settlement, which is likely where the “59 units” detail came from. So yes, Shirakawa-go does use a carefully designed system. It just is not the village in this particular viral clip.
The visual clue is the giveaway. Wengding’s misty Yunnan setting, Wa heritage, and thatched stilt houses fit the footage far better than a Japanese alpine village famous for its gassho-style farmhouses. One clip, two very different places, and one caption that really needed a fact-check before it went full world tour. The lesson is simple: if a post says “Japan” but looks like Yunnan, do not let the algorithm play tour guide.

Very excited about this. For many years we have struggled in Charlottesville with the custom oversized million dollar plus fire trucks with two year wait times available on the market. They do not fit historic streets and sometimes you cannot wait two years. #BikeTooter #FireSafety #cville #BudgetsAreValuesDocuments https://cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-charlottesville-looks-to-downsize-its-firetrucks/

Today is that anniversary. By now my brother had died and my nephew was fighting for his life, a battle he would lose 2 days later.
Please look at the post in the thread above this one and consider your fire safety plans.
Do not become a statistic, do not put your loved ones through this hell because you didn't plan your escape.

We are fast approaching the anniversary of my brother and nephew's deaths.
So I am going to take this moment to ask you all if you have planned your escape route from your house in case of fire. Do the kids know the plan?
Is the battery working in your smoke alarm? Is there even a battery in your smoke alarm, or did the beeping annoy you?
What will you do if your stairs are alight?
If the grandkids are staying over, do they know the plan? Which adult is getting which child?Where do you keep your house keys at night? Could you find them if there was smoke and fire?
Do you shut the kitchen door when you go to bed? That was what the fire brigade said would have made most difference for my family.
Do you turn electrical appliances off at the wall, especially the ones you bought from somewhere online?
Have you walked through your escape plan? You need muscle memory to kick in when the panic of an emergency situation hits.
Please, if you could think about these things and make changes if you need to it would mean that something good has come from our tragedy. I never want anyone else to have to go through this.

Swansea residents accuse insurance giant Zurich of fraud over ‘worthless’ flats
Residents of the Aurora complex in Swansea Marina claim Zurich issued 10-year home warranties for their properties, built by Persimmon Homes around 2008, despite surveyors allegedly failing to carry out proper inspections. The allegations are supported by a former Zurich employee who claims surveyors were so overburdened they could not inspect all properties, and that completion certificates were sometimes issued before inspections took place.
Zurich has emphasized that its insurance policy was designed as backup cover that would only apply if Persimmon Homes became insolvent and unable to carry out repairs. The insurer states it was never intended to provide leaseholders with primary cover for building defects, and that responsibility for fixing the issues lies with the developer.
Jayne MacGregor, one of the 30 leaseholders in the legal action, said her retirement investment flat has become a “noose around my neck.” She told the BBC she has had to continue working beyond her retirement to pay legal costs and a second mortgage on the property, which is now blighted by extensive water ingress and fire safety defects.
The legal action follows a 2019 High Court ruling in Manchester where a judge found Zurich had committed “deceit” in a similar case. In that instance, involving the New Lawrence House development, His Honour Judge Stephen Davies ruled that Zurich Building Control had fraudulently issued building regulations certificates for what he described as a “seriously defective” building.
A Pattern of Allegations
The Aurora residents’ claims echo those made in other parts of the UK, painting a picture of what they allege are systemic issues. In the Manchester case, the Court of Appeal upheld the ruling against Zurich, with Lord Justice Coulson describing the insurer’s interpretation of its own policy as a “strained and artificial construction” that made it “impossible to see any circumstances in which [the insurers] would ever pay out.”
Closer to home, residents of Wales’ tallest building, the nearby Meridian Quay tower, reached an out-of-court settlement with Zurich in 2022 over a similar claim alleging deceit. In 2021, around 90 flat owners at Meridian Quay were pursuing a £25 million claim against Zurich, with allegations the firm acted “recklessly and fraudulently.”
Phil Lake, managing director of the head leaseholder at Meridian Quay, said at the time that residents had paid over £1 million in excess insurance premiums due to the defects and that people had been “living in danger.”

(Image: Google Maps)Whistleblower Claims
The Aurora residents’ allegations are supported by an anonymous former Zurich employee who told the BBC that when the firm was exiting the home warranty market after the 2008 financial crash, the workload became unmanageable.
“There simply weren’t enough hours in a day [to do all the jobs],” the former surveyor said. “[An] email instruction came down [and said] I’ve issued the cover notes, can you inspect them next week? Well, people are living in them next week so I can’t go and inspect them. It was a ridiculous situation… I knew what we were doing wasn’t right but I still needed to keep shoes on feet and food on the table.”
The developer, Persimmon Homes, is now undertaking a full-scale remediation of the Aurora building to fix the defects, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. Persimmon has faced criticism over quality issues at developments across the UK, with reports in 2019 of missing or incorrectly installed fire barriers that led to a fire in an Exeter estate “rapidly escalating” as it spread between properties.
“Property Prison”
For the residents of Aurora, the legal and construction issues have left them in what solicitor Martin Scott describes as a “property prison.” Speaking to the BBC, Mr Scott, who specialises in complex construction disputes, said owners are trapped.
“You can’t re-mortgage because nobody will touch you where there are fire issues, you can’t sell because there’s no market,” he said. “The truth is a property purchase is the biggest purchase any ordinary person will make in their lives so if that goes wrong then their life goes wrong.”
A Zurich spokesperson said: “We appreciate the stress this situation has caused for leaseholders. Responsibility for repairing defects at Aurora lies firmly with the developer, Persimmon Homes. The Zurich policy provides protection if the developer becomes insolvent and cannot carry out repairs. We hope that Persimmon can resolve this situation for leaseholders as quickly as possible.
“The insurer refutes the allegations that insurance documents were issued improperly, and states that while it conducted checks for underwriting purposes, statutory building inspections were the responsibility of the local authority, not Zurich”.
Swansea Council, which was responsible for ensuring the original construction complied with building regulations, said it was unable to comment as it was not a party to the proposed legal action.

A neighbor just had a stove fire-plastic caught fire. Threw a fire blanket on, Firefighters just arrived, report that fire is out. All per scanner traffic.
Keep a fire blanket in your kitchen...and NOT right next to the stove! I'm sort of embarrassed that we only got one last year.

hmm. while I've already mounted all my electronics on cement board. This is probably a good device to add to my solar cabinet soon. 380F activation point automatic fire suppression. Will have to do more research. https://www.amazon.com/automatic-extinguishing-extinguisher-distribution-protection/dp/B0CZV1SLFJ
I'm especially curious as to how it would react in a wildfire. And if a release would destroy the electrical components. Not much point in saving the cabinet if you lose the $$ invested in the electrical equipment if it activated during a wildfire.

USA bans flammable fabrics in children's sleepwear (16 CFR 1615-1616). Polyester is the common substitute. Yet washing synthetic fabric produces 35% of all microplastic pollution. Choi et al. found in 2021 that washing and drying knit polyester released 4 to 5 times as much as woven.
Rock vs. hard place.

scary, innit? i’ve lived long enough to accumulate a bucket load of anecdotes of how people just “don’t get it”
one instance involved a work mate who emptied the “cold” ash from a coonara heater into a sensible, safe, metal bucket, and put it outside on her back porch.
a full week later, the porch started to burn…just as swimming lessons have always seemed essential in a country obsessed with beaches, it would seem some sort of #FireSafety information campaign would be useful. Disaster porn might reward the press well enough, but it does nothing to address ignorance

A very hard week for me at work but I did my best and hopefully all will be well. I wasn’t able to make the rescheduled state building code meeting to discuss allowing single stair construction at the fifth and sixth story. The proposal mirrored my fourth story proposal. Fire officials opposed I think out of a precautionary principle idea that we should make small careful moves. It proceeds to the board and may still be adopted. #Virginia #BuildingCode #FireSafety #Housing #shortage #VAPol

Lithium ion batteries on a truck caught fire on the Hume Highway near Yass, forcing the road to close in both directions due to toxic smoke and health risks. A large exclusion zone was set up and nearby residents were advised to stay indoors. No injuries reported, but it is another reminder that transport and safety standards for battery storage and freight really matter.

I’ve worked in fire safety management and training for 28 years. In that time, one hazard has grown from niche to everyday risk: lithium-ion battery fires. These incidents don’t behave like “normal” fires — and that difference is critical for safety. 🧵
