GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. --
Firefighters battled a blaze at a Norcross plastics recycling facility on Wednesday afternoon.

The building was damaged, but all of the workers made it out safely, firefighters said.
Firefighters requested an additional engine and hazmat team to put out the fire, Gwinnett Fire spokesman Tommy Ruteledge said.
