HOUSTON — If you saw -- or smelled -- smoke on the south side of town Thursday, it was from a big fire burning at a recycling plant off Highway 288 and 610.
Smoke coming from the Holmes Road Recycling Plant in the 2800 block of Holmes Road was visible for miles.
Houston firefighters spent more than three hours battling the fire.
"The items that are burning are things such as vehicles and tires," said HFD's Martee Black.
HFD crews used the recycling plant's equipment to move the vehicles away from the flames to stop the fire from spreading, Black said.
Thankfully, no firefighters or civilians were injured, according to HFD.
The call about the fire came in around 10:30 a.m.
At this point, there are no details on how the fire started, but an investigation is underway.

Back in 2016, a fire at the same plant took 16 hours to extinguish, according to KHOU 11 reporter Melissa Correa.
