Calgary fire crews responded to a structure fire at a recycling facility along 24 Street SE at around 7:25 a.m., according to a Calgary Fire release. The fire was found in a hopper inside the warehouse and was contained to it. No injuries were reported.
When crews arrived, they saw light smoke coming from inside the warehouse. All staff had evacuated to their muster point, the release said.
The warehouse is on the west side of the landfill, where a large fire occurred in September. A fire investigator attended and classified the recycling facility fire as unintentional and not related to the earlier landfill fire.
Firefighters and staff worked to access the interior to confirm that the fire was completely extinguished, according to the release.
