Rubber fire in Elkhart County

A rubber fire last week in Elkhart County was extinguished only after more than a million gallons of water applied to the blaze.

According to WSBT, 14 departments responded Thursday to Entech Inc., near Middlebury.

Fire officials said hot, newly molded landscape edging – formed from recycled tires – likely touched off the fire.

Foam was used to help extinguish the blaze.

No injuries were reported.
