Recycling plant fire threatens buildings

Sunday, March 21, 1999 | 9:18 a.m.

The three-alarm fire began about 2:30 p.m. at the plant, said Clark County Fire Department spokesman Steve La-Sky.

Firefighters were hampered by a lack of water in the area and the strong winds that caused the fire to spread.

La-Sky said several buildings in the area were threatened, but no houses or people were in danger.

"It's a mess. I really feel for the guys," he said.

La-Sky said he expected the fire to last several days.
