Firefighters battled a fire in an Allegany Scrapyard.
Crews responded to a report of an unknown type fire with explosion at the recycling business on Union Street and arrived to find a large pile of scrap on fire.
One engine worked to keep the fire from spreading while another used a tower to extinguish the fire from above while the business used an excavator to dig apart the pile.
One worker was hospitalized for smoke inhalation. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
