Six-alarm fire destroys GFL’s Cherry Street recycling plant

An enormous fire destroyed the Green For Life recycling plant on Cherry Street Thursday morning. Latest video from the scene as shot by Tammie Sutherland of City News seems to show the demolished operation as a soggy mess. The burned out plant is sending heavy smoke across the bay and has left downtown smelling of burning rubbish. The fire appears to have threatened a next door mattress storage. As many as 40 vehicles are on the scene as is the TFS fire boat. No one has been injured so far.
