Ottawa firefighters are working on a large fire in a recycling facility in west Ottawa Tuesday morning.
Ottawa Fire Services (OFS) received the call to an industrial area on West Hunt Drive off Carp Road at 6:58 a.m. and firefighters reached the site a few minutes later. It was a second-alarm fire by 7:15 a.m.
Firefighters saw flames on the roof of the large structure with vehicles inside and had to try to stop it from spreading to the surrounding area with its fuel and propane tanks, according to OFS spokesperson Carson Tharris.
