Fire Hits Colorado Recycling Plant

GREELEY, Colo --

A two-alarm fire broke out at a Greeley recycling plant at daybreak Tuesday, but it was quickly brought under control by firefighters.

The first report of a fire at Northern Colorado Recycling, 1616 N. 11th Ave., came in about 5 a.m. When firefighters arrived, flames were shooting from the roof of the 7,000-square-foot metal building used to process paper.

The Union Colony Fire Department knocked the fire down and by 6 a.m., firefighters were pouring water on the interior of the building to cool it before entering to find the cause.

There were no injuries as a result of the fire.
