Nobody was injured in a fire at a recycling plant in Battle Creek this morning.

The Battle Creek Fire Department responded at 4:35 a.m. Friday, May 24, to ReConserve of Michigan, located at 170 Angell St. Firefighters arriving at the site found a large pile of recycled material burning, according to a news release from the department.

Heat from the recycling process likely ignited other recycled materials, the release said.

The building’s sprinkler system kept the fire from spreading. When firefighters arrived, they were able to extinguish the burning material, the release said.

The extent of the damage was minimal, according to the fire department.
