Smoke may have cleared from a large industrial fire in Richmond, but fear and concern are still burning on the minds of residents almost two weeks later.
“We’re concerned about our kids breathing in that stuff. We don’t know what it is we’re breathing in," Roscoe Holder said.
According to the lawsuit, residents experienced adverse health effects like breathing complications, headaches, dizziness, skin rashes and chest pain. WRTV previously reported that the city cited Smith and Cornerstone Trading following a 2019 inspection that found fire hazards. Crossen believes the city of Richmond is culpable, but says there are a few hoops to work through before they can name city in the lawsuit.
