| Abstract | A fire in a large pile of scrap rubber tires, located near the town of Saint Amable, Quebec, started on the afternoon of May 16, 1990. The scrap tire yard is less than a kilometre from the town on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence river. The column of black smoke from the fire was visible from the metropolitan area of Montreal, 40 km away. The Saint Amable fire is the second major tire fire to occur in Canada in four months. A fire in Hagersville, Ontario burned for 17 days in February of this year. |
