Firefighters were called to a fire at a recycling center off US 29 in Reidsville on Tuesday.
Rockingham County Emergency Services said a pile of scrap metal caught fire at Foss Recycling around 10:30 a.m.
Flames and smoke were visible off of Watlington Industrial Drive and near Highway 29.
No one was hurt and the fire didn't threaten any nearby homes, officials said.
WFMY News 2 photojournalist Sean Higgins captured video five miles away from the recycling center, and big smoke plumes could be seen above the trees.
A viewer also shared a photo of the smoke plumes near his neighborhood.
Fire crews said the fire is under control and responders are still working on containment areas.
