TAMPA, Fla. - Firefighters in Hillsborough County are battling a three-alarm scrapyard fire that sent two firefighters to the hospital on Thursday.

What we know:

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue says more than three dozen units responded at around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday to Liberty Recycle at 5207 St. Paul St. in the Palm River-Clair Mel area.

The fire sent large plumes of smoke hundreds of feet into the air as crews continue to fight the flames into the afternoon hours. It has taken all day to put it out, because scrapyards have a mixture of materials for hotspots to hide. Image 1 of 2 ▼

HCFR says two firefighters went to the hospital after showing signs of heat exhaustion and both are listed in stable condition.

Officials say the fire is not threatening any other buildings.
