A fire on a barge carrying obsolete appliances to be scrapped has been extinguished, according to local media reports from the Mid-Atlantic region.
In late May, WMDT-TV reported a barge in Delaware Bay headed for Camden, New Jersey, had caught fire, with several firefighting agencies responding.
In early June, WMDT and Delaware-based WBOC-TV are reporting the blaze on the barge has been extinguished, and the barge is again making its way to a scrap yard in Camden.
Neither media outlet is reporting the name of the receiving scrap company. The 2020 Recycling Today Auto Shredder List and Map indicates the Camden Iron & Metal subsidiary of EMR Ltd. operates a shredder in Camden. That location on Second Street in Camden is situated on Delaware Bay.
