A fire broke out at Fort Recovery Industries on Thursday.

Portland Fire Department responded to 710 E. 100 North, Portland, about 10:30 a.m. to put out flames in the northwest corner of the building. Sparks from metal work had lit pallets of filters on fire, and workers used forklifts to pull several of the pallets outside.
