August lO, ~991 <br /> <br />Si yvi ~: <br /> <br /> August Et, ~I, the Ramsey Fire Department was dispatched to Danny"s <br /> Ai umi num due to the busi ness "burnl ng copper". Upon arrivai, I meet <br /> the p~iice souad which was already at the intersection of Basalt. <br /> D~icer Kuhn's and myself proceeded to the si~e entmance where we were <br /> unable t~ gain a~es~ due t~ a locked gate. We ~ontinued t~ the <br /> ~utside ~en~ed gate wheme we were able to visually noti~e that an <br /> employee was bringing molten matemiai ~rom the building and allowing <br /> it to cool outsi~e. I was positioned upwind and was not able to <br /> ~ete~t and odor at that time. When the Asst. Chie~ ammived, the <br /> police o~imer cleared an~ returned to his vehicle. The Asst. Chief <br /> and mysel~ were escorted into Danny's Aluminum by the same employee <br /> who had been seen removing the glowing material. We examined the <br /> material up close and di~ not ~ind any eviOence o~ "~opper" or <br /> Polyvinyi Chloride (PVC) insulated materials. The night foreman <br /> ~oined us and we proceeded to his o+~ice where he had spoken to Danny <br /> and informed me that he woulO like ~or mysel4 to call him before I had <br /> l e~t his business. ~ phoned Danny, however his wi~e indicated that he <br /> had already ie~t and wouiO be doining us very shortly. The Asst. <br />Chie~ and mysel~ ~aited out in his parking lot ~or approximately ]0 - <br />15 minutes untill Danny arrived. We discussed that the smoke we had <br />noticed was white and that the mmteri~l was glowing red when it was <br />being brought out to cool. He explained his complete process as weli <br />ms the differences in the ~olor o~ the smoke that his ovens emit. He <br />informed us that he would be adding m~ter-burners and eliminating his <br />current "bag house". Our discussion lasted appro~:immte]y two and one <br />hal~ hours. It is of my opinion, that in this particular instance, I <br />could not i denti~y any smoke bei no di s~harged ~rom Danny' s A1 umi hum <br />that would be different than ~hat which would have been discharged <br />during normal day to day operations. I ~eel that better lighting in <br />that general business area could possibly eliminate any nuisance calls <br />~or both police and ~ire to Danny's Aluminum. <br /> <br />David Gri~in <br />Ramsey Fire Chie~ <br /> <br /> <br />
