Cause Determined For Major East Side Fire

It has been determined yesterday morning's major fire at Alot of Auto Recyclers on the Old Black River Road was caused after fuel that had been spilled was accidentally ignited by welding.

The building collapsed a short time later and one worker had to be treated for minor burns.

Meantime, there was a water rescue last night shortly before 9 in Millidgeville.

District Chief Gerry Morris says the fire department's water rescue boat was launched after getting a call from the Coast Guard about a boat running aground on the rocks off Ragged Point in Millidgeville.

The boat that ran aground in the rocks was towed to a nearby cove and the one person on board was not injured.
