FOREST HILL, Texas — Black smoke could be seen for miles in Tarrant County as a fire burned at a recycling plant. 

According to the Forest Hill Fire Department, crews were called at about 11:02 a.m. to a commercial structure fire at 4725 Forest Hill Circle, which is the site of an organic recycling plant.

Aerials from WFAA’s chopper showed a fire raging as black smoke billows into the air along I-20 near 287. 

Upon arrival, officials say firefighters found a large warehouse engulfed in fire. With help from the Fort Worth Fire Department, Kennedale Fire Department, and the Tarrant County ESD 1 Fire Department, crews began a defensive attack to suppress the fire and prevent it from spreading further.

Officials say firefighters were successful in containing the fire to the warehouse.

The Tarrant County Fire Marshal Office investigated the fire and found it was caused by welding being done inside the building, officials said.

No one has been reported injured in the fire.
