STOCKTON — Crews were battling a large warehouse fire at a recycling center in Stockton, officials said Wednesday night.

The Stockton Fire Department said the scene of the three-alarm blaze was along South California Street in the southern part of the city. 

A CBS Sacramento camera at the scene captured what was still a very active firefight around 10:30 p.m.

Early Thursday morning, crews said the fire was under control inside the building but crews will remain at the scene for most of the afternoon to extinguish all hot spots. 

The warehouse is used to dismantle cars, the fire department said. Materials that burned in the fire included plastics, electronic waste and pallets of batteries. 

Some of the fire hydrants in the area broke, firefighters said, but crews used water tenders to knock down the fire. 

No injuries were reported and what sparked the fire is under investigation.
