Massive Fire at Foss Recycling Plant, No Injuries

0:00Early Saturday morning, Raleigh Fire crews hit a blaze at the false recycling plant on Garner Road around 140 a.m. 10 units rode out quick, containing the fire with no injuries reported. It's a middle recycling spot, and the flames tore through a massive debris pile about the size of a football field. Garner Fire teams jumped in too, and both crews stayed on site to make sure it was fully out. City stormwater and hazmat folks are now checking for any environmental fallout from outdoor burn. Folks in the Garner area caught a whiff of burning electrical products everywhere, and social media lit up with reports of smoke visible from spots. Like Lake Benson, over six miles away. As of noon, no toxic stuff or dangers turned up, and the cause is still a mystery. This plants had minor fires before, but nothing this intense. Crews keep monitoring, so we'll stay tuned for updates on any smells or runoff issues lingering in the air. This has been Durham News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
