What's that smoke smell? A large mulch fire at a Detroit factory
CBC
A massive mulch fire at a factory storage yard on Detroit's west side is pushing smoke across the city and over the border into the Windsor area.
That's what's behind the burning smell in the air Wednesday morning.
Detroit Fire Department Chief James C. Harris said it broke out at Detroit Mulch on Prairie Street around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, and it's expected to burn for a while.
"I'd say it's the size of six football fields," Harris told CBC News.
It's unclear at this point how the fire started.

Harris said they've been rotating through approximately 15 crews and fighting the fire for more than 12 consecutive hours, as of 8 a.m. Wednesday.
He said some of the mulch piles are "substantial" and high, making it difficult for crews to put out.
