The final report into in September’s fire at a Saint John scrapyard will be released on Tuesday.

A joint task force was appointed to investigate the Sept. 14 events at American Iron and Metal (AIM).

Its final report and recommendations will be unveiled during a news conference at 10:30 a.m.

Justice Minister and Attorney General Ted Flemming and Labour Minister Arlene will participate in the news conference, which will be streamed online.

The fire inside a massive pile of crushed cars burned for more than 40 hours, prompting a voluntary city-wide shelter-in-place order due to air quality concerns.

It has also renewed calls from some in the community, including members of Saint John council, to shut down AIM Recycling once and for all.

Premier Blaine Higgs hinted that the facility never restart its operations, but said it was too early to make any decisions.

“That facility will not start up until an investigation is complete and we’re satisfied that it can run, and right now, given what’s happened leading into this, there’s a lot of doubt about that,” Higgs told reporters on Sept. 19.

Soil sampling and testing are also being undertaken at 12 community gardens as officials test for “chemicals of potential concern” in the soil.

Dr. Kimberley Barker, the regional medical officer of health, told Saint John council’s public safety committee on Oct. 25 that the rest results were due in mid-November.

Barker said health officials will also investigate the air quality impacts caused by the industrial fire.

Port Saint John is also reviewing its lease with AIM, whose approval to operate has been suspended since the fire.

More to come.
