(KLZA)-- Highway 136 has re-opened west of Rock Port after being closed due to smoke from a fire at EnTire Recycling Monday.
The blaze started late Sunday evening and is expected to continue to burn for sometime at the plant located at Phelps City, Missouri.
Old tires are ground up at the plant to be used in athletic fields across the country. The plant is on the south side of Highway 136 and the strong winds Monday was blowing the smoke across the highway creating a dangerous situation.
Fire fighters from Rock Port, Watson, Tarkio, Westboro and Fairfax responded to the scene. The smoke generated by the tires is hazardous to breathe and firefighters were concerned about the possibility of explosions.
