CAL Sierra Transfer Station In East Sonora Closed Due To Fire
Sonora, CA — A fire ignited early this morning in a building at the CAL Sierra Waste Management Transfer Station at 19309 Industrial Drive.
Firefighters were dispatched to the call at around 6:20 am and it caused some extensive damage. A CAL Sierra Waste Management spokesperson reports that the transfer station (dump) is closed today (Sunday) and it is unclear when it will reopen. An engineer is coming up to take a look at the building and to assess the damage. The structure is near the area where people come and dump trash.
