For more than nine hours last night, a crew of over 100 firefighters battled a fire at Recology's recycling warehouse in the Bayview. The blaze ignited around 8:30 p.m. after the warehouse closed last night and was fueled by construction debris, lumber and furniture that had been dropped off for recycling.
According to Recology spokesman Robert Reed, there were no hazardous materials in the warehouse, but the smoke, which "filled the warehouse" couldn't have been good for the already choked Bay Area atmosphere. No one was injured, but the neighbors complained about the heavy smoke.
The whole thing was extinguished by 6 a.m. this morning, the fire is still under investigation and the center has conveniently re-opened for business, should you have any construction debris you need to drop off.
ABC7 has the video report:
