The battle continues for emergency crews in fighting a fire in Thorold.

They were called yesterday afternoon to a recycling centre on Allanport Road.

There were no injuries.

Niagara police say the fire department is dealing with wind that's causing drifting smoke, and everyone within a 2km radius of the fire is asked to keep windows closed and stay indoors.
