Massive flames visible from I-215 in Salt Lake City
Details are limited, however, large flames and a massive plume of smoke can easily be seen by traffic on I-215 and I-80. Traffic cameras in the area show firefighters taking a 'defensive' position, battling the flames from outside an industrial building, spraying water from above.
The flames appear to be at the site of Rocky Mountain Recycling Center. It is currently unclear what sparked the flames, how long the fire has been burning, or if there have been injuries.
ABC4 has reached out to the Salt Lake City Fire Department and has a crew on scene to learn more.
This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as new information becomes available.

Brace for large waves and fierce surf
East Coast, brace for big waves from Hurricane Erin. An actress opened up about the death of her husband earlier this year. And what's wrong with these bunnies? 👋 Howdy! Rebecca Morin here. It's a gray, dreary day in Washington, DC. But it's not stopping me from bringing you Tuesday's news! But first: Imagine beating the odds – twice. 🤑 A Virginia woman won $1 million in a scratch off, but it's not the first time she's won big. A rough slog up the East Coast Hurricane Erin, now a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, is not expected to make landfall on the mainland United States. But the storm is forecast to bring large waves and rough surf along the East Coast, from central Florida to Canada. Erin is expected to pass east of the Bahamas on Tuesday, before moving over the Western Atlantic between the U.S. coast and Bermuda on Wednesday and Thursday. Its strength could still fluctuate before it begins to weaken later in the week, according to the National Hurricane Center. 👉 See the storm's forecasted path. Several evacuations: Evacuations were underway along parts of North Carolina's Outer Banks. Erin's predicted storm surge and waves of more than 10 feet prompted the National Weather Service to urge people to stay out of the ocean. Deadly surf conditions are expected through at least Thursday. 👉 Where there could be storm surge. Talks toward peace Another face-to-face summit is in the works. After President Donald Trump's high-stakes meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, Trump said in a social media post that he called Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin arranging face-to-face talks between Russia's leader and Zelenskyy at a location to be determined. Trump said after a proposed meeting between the two leaders, he would join them for a discussion aimed at pushing the warring sides closer together. 👉 Experts say it's unclear whether the meeting will happen. Overnight attacks: Russia attacked the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk with drones overnight, a day after Trump's meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders. The city's mayor, Vitalii Maletskyi, said the strike was a sign that Putin does not want peace. 👉 What to know about the attack. Real quick Aubrey Plaza opens up It's been seven months since the death of Aubrey Plaza's husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena. And the grief, the actress said, is like the 2025 action-horror film "The Gorge.' Plaza on Tuesday appeared on her former "Parks and Recreation" co-star and friend Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast to promote her latest film, "Honey Don't!" which opens in theaters Friday. During the interview, Poehler noted that many people have wanted to hear how Plaza is doing after a "terrible, tragic year.' Plaza compared her grief to the film, saying, "it's like at all times there's a giant ocean of just awfulness" that you either dive into or try and get away from. 👉 See what Plaza said about her late husband. A zombie bunny? No, we're not in "Pet Sematary." Rabbits with growths that resemble horns or tentacles have been spotted around Colorado, drawing comparisons to zombies and Frankenstein's monster. But wildlife officials say there's little cause for concern. Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesperson Kara Van Hoose said the growths are caused by a virus specific to bunnies called cottontail rabbit papillomavirus. Still, Van Hoose warned that, "as with any wildlife, pets should not interact or come in contact with the rabbits." 🐰 See what the rabbits look like.
