Yonder smoke

Smoke from a fire at Kleensoil International, a large scrap yard at 13838 Harlee Road, near the Manatee County port and jail, is viewed Dec. 16 from the Kingfish Boat Ramp in Holmes Beach. North River Fire Rescue responded to the fire with support from Bradenton and Hillsborough County firefighters. No injuries were reported but a section of Harlee Road was closed. The cause of the fire was said to be contaminants in a scrapped vehicle. The fire was extinguished Dec. 17. Islander Photo: Courtesy Pete Maze
