County Firefighters Called to AEI Recycling

Members of the DeKalb County Volunteer Fire Department were summoned to AEI Recycling on New Home Road Wednesday morning.
Lieutenant Brian Williams said the call came in as a structure fire. When they arrived, firefighters found a car up on a rack outside the building that was ablaze. An employee of the business was reportedly working on the vehicle’s gas tank when the fire started. No one was injured.
According to Lieutenant Williams, firefighters quickly put out the flames. Most of the damage was to the car and an electrical service box but there was some minor smoke and heat damage to the building.
The Main Station, Liberty, and Short Mountain Highway Stations responded along with the tanker truck
