Indiana Warehouse Fire: EPA Urges Reporting of Debris and Lifts Evacuation Order.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has warned residents near the site of an Indiana warehouse fire not to touch any debris they find on their property as it may contain asbestos, a known carcinogen. Testing of some debris samples from the fire confirmed the presence of asbestos, and the agency was working with professionals in Indiana and Ohio to remove the hazardous material. The EPA said it began collecting debris at schools, day cares, and city parks on Saturday and was also working with state and local officials on a plan to collect debris from nearby homes.
