Crews working to put out fire at Little Rock recycling center

The Little Rock Fire Department is at the scene of a fire at the Goldman's Recycling building on Tuesday afternoon.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The Little Rock Fire Department is at the scene of a fire at Goldman's Recycling building on Tuesday afternoon.

The recycling center is located at 1701 E. 14th Street.

According to reports, there was lots of smoke and firetrucks seen near downtown in the Lost 40 area. 

They were supposedly pulling out debris from a fire that happened last year which included a pile of metal and baby wipes and it caught fire. 

Officials said the fire was burning for about four hours and started when contractors tried to remove the debris. Moving the metal threw sparks which ignited some of the materials around the plant.
