FONTANA, Calif. () — A fire erupted at a recycling facility in Fontana Wednesday morning, and crews raced to keep the fire from spreading to a neighboring business ahead of Santa Ana winds.
The fire was reported around 7:30 a.m. at AIM Recycling Fontana on Slover Avenue, according to the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
AIR7 was over the scene as crews on ladders doused a large burning pile of what appeared to be metal scrap. A large plume of smoke was billowing over the area.
With Santa Ana winds that are expected to intensify, fire officials said there is a risk of the fire spreading to a trucking yard located south of the facility.
Details about what caused the fire were not available.
