A fire at a recycling facility in southern Santa Clara County Monday morning that prompted a shelter-in-place for surrounding areas is under control, firefighters said.

The Santa Clara County Fire Department said crews responded to the San Martin Transfer Station at 14070 Llagas Avenue shortly after 7:20 a.m. According to initial reports, a recycling load caught fire.

As workers separated the burning refuse and doused the items with water, a 911 call was made. Once firefighters were on scene, a crew reported that fire had spread to parts of a nearby structure.

A shelter-in-place warning was in effect for Zone SCC-150, a zone bordered by East San Martin Avenue to the South, Highway 101 to the east, Tennant Avenue to the north and Union Pacific railroad tracks to the west. Shortly before noon, firefighters said the fire was under control and the shelter-in-place was lifted.

Additional details about the fire were not immediately available.
