ATLANTA - Firefighters are still trying to extinguish a fire at a warehouse in northwest Atlanta.


Sgt. Bobby Stewart of the Atlanta fire department says more than 100 firefighters battled the blaze, which broke out Sunday night. He says some firefighters were still pouring water on hot spots early Monday.

Stewart says the building, which houses a paper and plastic recycling center, caught fire around 8:30 p.m. and firefighters contained the blaze late Sunday night.

Stewart says one firefighter was injured and is in stable condition after being hospitalized for treatment for dehydration and heat exhaustion.

He says firefighters are expected to remain at the scene for several hours. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.
