PHILADELPHIA— Firefighters in Philadelphia have extinguished a fire at a trash and recycling center near Interstate 95 and the Walt Whitman Bridge.
Fire officials say there were no reports of injuries at the scene of Thursday morning's blaze at the building that caught fire on the Delaware River waterfront.
Smoke could be seen pouring from the building, but PennDOT reports traffic on the bridge linking Pennsylvania and New Jersey is not affected.
Executive Chief Richard Davison says firefighters had to use heavy equipment to disperse the trash. He says there was no immediate danger to the surrounding area and no injuries.
The cause is under investigation.
