The latest comes according to officials, who battled the one-alarm blaze near the Port of Houston earlier this week.

The Houston Fire Department told the Houston Chronicle the fire started at Derichebourg Recycling around 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, when workers didn’t use enough water during their destruction of cars inside the plant.

About a dozen trucks reportedly battled the blaze near Harrisburg and Navigation boulevards, with no injuries reported.
