CORRECTION — In the Aug. 5 edition, there were inaccuracies in the story about the fire at the City Yards. Only the trash trucks ignited. The natural gas filling station immediately shut off and no natural gas burned. Big Blue Buses were not involved. Five trash trucks were completely destroyed. Garbage and recycling pick-up throughout the city was temporarily delayed over the past few days, but are currently back on schedule.
