Recycle Fire in Fig Garden Loop area

While picking up recyclables in the fig garden loop area on the 3500 block of West Escalon an alert City of Fresno Solid Waste Driver made a quick decision to dump his load that had caught on fire in a safe place to save his truck and other property. It took almost 40 minutes for 2 fire engines to fully put out the fire. Community Sanitation cleaned up the mess once it was out. The only property damaged was a Gray container that melted. We urge our customers to call the City of Fresno Recycle hotline at 621-1111 for any questions on Recycling. Please place cold fireplace & barbeque ashes and coals in the gray container bagged to retard the ashes blowing.
