Fire crews take on blaze at Taber electronics recycling facility

May 6, 2022 | 1:45 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB — Fire crews are working to extinguish a fire at Technotrash Alberta located at 5814 64 Street in Taber.

At approximately 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 6, 2022, thick black smoke was billowing from the yard of the facility and flames were seen reaching heights of 20 feet, as fire crews attacked the fire from multiple vantage points.

High wind speeds were making it difficult for crews to extinguish the flames.

Workers from a neighbouring business assisted fire crews by removing concrete barriers so firefighters could get to the fire from another angle, and by removing other materials in the yard that could have added fuel to the fire.

At this time officials have reported no injuries.
