On Friday, May 23, Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson dismissed the criminal case against West Oakland scrap metal recycler Radius Recycling (formerly Schnitzer Steel) for its role in a massive two-day fire in 2023 that spewed acrid, possibly toxic, smoke across the Bay Area. https://alamedapost.com/news/da-drops-charges-against-radius-recycling-2023-scrapyard-fire/

The latest Schnitzer Steel recycling plant fire is under control, but not before blanketing the Bay Area with acrid, possibly toxic, smoke. Air quality suffered greatly during the fire, but no Spare the Air alert was called.
