A series of small explosions and a fire at the AIM recycling yard on Queen Victoria Boulevard in Sherbrooke resulted in the closure of that street for part of the afternoon on Monday.
According to a representative of the city, the fire never grew beyond a single alarm, but a wide perimeter was set up around the site in light of the fact that there were potentially hazardous materials near the blaze.
A total of 15 firefighters responded to the fire, which was brought under control within about an hour and a half of initially arriving on the scene.
