LORTON, Va. - (AP) -- Fairfax County fire officials say that a massive fire broke out at a trash and recycling depot building in Lorton is now under control.
Firefighters were called to the recycling and disposal facility on Furnace Road on Thursday night and smoke was still visible Friday morning. Officials say there were three stories of trash on fire and they expect to be on the scene through the day Friday.
