CANASTOTA, N.Y. -- Multiple fire crews responded to a fire at a wire recycling center in Canastota. Flames broke out about 8:00 Thursday night at Prime Material Recovery Incorporated on Madison Boulevard.

Thirteen fire departments responded because of toxic smoke and the size of the building.

"Very difficult because it's a large building and it filled up with smoke very fast and it made it tough for us to see,” said Canastota Assistant Fire Chief Bruce Chandler.

Four people were inside the building at the time. No one was injured.
