The fire is contained, but officials said hot spots may burn for days.
The City of Albuquerque issued a health alert after a massive fire broke out at a plastics facility. "Plastics are burning and the smoke contains hazardous air pollutants," the health alert says. "This was the type of fire that was destined to grow very rapidly," said Lt. Robert Arguelles of the Bernalillo County Fire Department. A spokesperson for Atkore United Poly Systems told the Albuquerque Journal that the fire started in the exterior yard.
The facility is located in an open area just outside of Albuquerque's city limits. The main building survived the fire, but at least 2 acres of land burned, officials said.Trending stories at Scrippsnews.com
