Calgary Recycling Fire Still Burning | Calgary News

Calgary’s fire crews are locked in a fierce battle against a raging blaze at a recycling facility southeast of the city, with flames still smoldering Monday morning after igniting Sunday night. Compounded by a distant fire hydrant — a full kilometer away — firefighters are hauling in extra hoses and pumpers to maintain pressure. This isn’t the first emergency here: it’s the third fire in seven years, including one in 2022 that sent hazardous smoke into nearby neighborhoods. Residents also complain about trash piles blowing into homes. As officials race to fully extinguish the blaze and investigate its cause, this incident underscores the ongoing challenges facing Calgary’s emergency responders and the community’s growing concerns over waste management safety.
