A fire at a manufacturing plant in Richmond caused an estimated $1 million in damages Friday morning. Captain Doug Hystad of the Richmond fire department said the blaze broke out shortly before 7 a.m. and is believed to have been caused by workers using acetylene torches to cut metal. According to Hystad, a piece of molten metal was sucked up into the dust collection system at R. Wales and Son, a company that manufactures rubber products for mining operations.
