The fire burned approximately one to one and a-half acres of paper.
The winds initially hindered firefighters' efforts to get close to the four to 12-foot-high stacks of burning material.
Firefighters also set up a shuttle of water tenders to feed firefighting equipment.
A lack of fire hydrants in the area also forced crews to use a crash rescue truck.
It was used to pump a foam-and-water mixture on the blaze.
Officials say the fire appeared under control while firefighters worked to keep the other three sides contained.
