According to Dallas Fire-Rescue, their department received a call about a fire at 3:43 p.m. at a recycling plant at 4141 Singleton Blvd.
Responding firefighters reported a heavy fire with a thick column of smoke. Crews used multiple hand lines and aerial ladders to spray water onto the blaze to get it under control, DFR said.
In an update from DFR around 6:45 p.m., the department told WFAA there were still several hot spots remaining, and an excavator was requested to dig through the debris and extinguish them fully.
WFAA had a crew at the scene, who reported seeing a transformer explode and multiple fire trucks responding to the fire.
The plume of smoke was so large, it could be seen from the Medical District.
