FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A sprinkler system helped firefighters make quick work of a blaze that broke out in a Southeast Fresno recycling center.
It was reported just after 2:30 a.m. Thursday at the Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station on Cedar near Highway 99.

Firefighters say recycling mater spontaneously combusted inside a large shed setting off the sprinkler system.
That tripped an alarm that notified the fire department.

Crews are now working to separate the burning material to ensure it doesn't re-ignite.
