Firefighters across the Niagara region are assisting crews in Thorold with extinguishing a blaze at a recycling plant Tuesday afternoon.

Fire Chief Terry Dixon says crews responded shortly before 3 p.m. for reports of a structure fire at the Environmental 360 Solutions warehouse located at 1786 Allanport Rd.

Crews from Thorold, Niagara Falls, Welland and Pelham have yet to bring the fire under control two hours after being called in.

Dixon says all employees safely evacuated the recycling plant and no injuries have been reported at this time.

The fire burning cardboard and cans does not contain any hazardous materials, he said.

A spokesperson for Niagara EMS says paramedics are on standby at the scene.
