County finds new code violations at Richmond vehicle wrecking yard

   RICHMOND - The vehicle wrecking yard that was the site of a big early morning fire Dec. 16 has more hazardous waste violations than previously thought.
    Contra Costa County officials announced Friday that Deal Auto Wrecking yard on West Gertrude Avenue has 30 days to clear up the problems, the East Bay Times reported Friday night.
    In the December fire as many as 200 vehicles burned putting up a huge plume of toxic black smoke.
    The fire prompted officials to order a 'shelter in place' for people living near the yard.
