"They recycle things like small batteries for things like laptops, small power tools, things of that nature," said Cpt. Joseph Huggins with Phoenix Fire. "According to people working inside, there was a series of very small explosions that happened in the work area." "With these fires, as you guys know, we have covered in the past when we're dealing with batteries, it can be a hazardous situation," said Cpt. Huggins.
