Camden Leaders Joint Statement On Fire at the EMR Scrap Facility

“This morning, we were all awakened by a call that has come way too often for the residents of our community- another fire at the EMR scrap facility. This underscores the need for us to put residents first and ask the state Department of Environmental Protection, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and every other regulatory agency to shut down the operations inside this foreign conglomerate.
