 Julian Drix is waiting for his kids at this playground next to the port. He's a public health expert and an activist. The scene here looks idyllic, but Drix says there has just been a big fire on the port at Rhode Island Metal Recyclers. Raging fire, you know, 100-foot flames, towering plume of black smoke. The wind happened to be blowing from the east, so it went right over our neighborhood.
