Fire crews in Meade County were called to a structure fire at the Meade County Recycling Center in Brandenburg Friday (12/1) night.
Fires crews from Meade County, Ekron and Flaherty Fire Departments were called to the scene at 740 Ready Mix Road in Brandenburg around 10 pm. As crews arrived on the scene they found a building fully involved with flames. Crews worked several hours to bring the fire under control and eventually extinguish the blaze. The fire crews were able to contain fire to the one building. County officials told WVIH.com News that the building was used for sorting materials and housed the facility’s glass pulverizer. Fire officials monitored the scene through the night and most of the day Saturday to take care of any hot spots to could rekindle. Brandenburg Police, Meade County Sheriff’s Office and Meade County EMS also assisted at the scene.
The Recycling Center was closed Saturday and is expected to be open for normal hours on Monday. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
