A fire at John’s Disposal Service in Whitewater kept crews working until the early hours of Monday morning.
Whitewater Assistant Fire Chief Joe Uselding says a significant amount of recycling material continues to smolder but crews will be monitoring it and dousing hot spots over the next couple of days.
Uselding says they have agreements with multiple departments to assist them on calls they can’t handle on their own and without the assistance of other agencies they would not have been able to handle a fire of this size on their own.
Uselding says there were no injuries sustained by either fire crew members or employees during the blaze and they do not know the source of the fire.
Several Rock County crews assisted including Janesville, Milton, Edgerton, Evansville, Clinton, and Footville.
