ATLANTA — A large junkyard fire in northwest Atlanta created a cloud of smoke that can be seen for miles Monday morning.
Atlanta Fire Rescue crews battled the flames at a metal recycling plant on Regina Dr. near Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway for hours.
The junk fueled the fire, making it difficult for crews to put out. Atlanta Fire tweeted out that it would be "an extended operation."
