A 1-acre fire in the yard of a Riverside plastic recycling company sent a giant plume of black smoke into the air Tuesday night that could be seen for miles and prompted the California Highway Patrol to close a major Inland freeway interchange during rush hour.
Flames broke out about 4:40 p.m. at Unlimited Plastics Inc. in the 2600 block of Durahart Street and spread to wooden pallets, stacks of cardboard boxes, and plastic piles, authorities said. Thick, black smoke billowed up and blew over Interstate 215, and could be seen as far south as Perris and as far north as San Bernardino.
There were no reports of injuries or evacuations. The cause was unknown.
