Calgary fire crews spotted a fireball at a southeast metal recycling plant Friday afternoon.

They responded to the facility on 12 Street S.E. around 3:30 p.m., and quickly extinguished the fire.

A CFD spokesperson said a car being crushed had some fuel in its tank, causing the blast.

The fire was confined to the crusher. No one was injured.
