ENTERPRISE — Smoke rose into the sky over Enterprise Sunday evening as firefighters responded to a fire at the trash collection station off 100 North behind a power substation.
Trash in the large metal bins behind the substation had caught fire, sending a plume of smoke skyward as firefighters arrived at the scene prior to 6:45 p.m.
“This is the fifth time we’ve been called out here (for a fire) this year,” Enterprise Fire Chief Brenden Moody said, adding that the cause of the fire was unknown at the time.

“It’s getting to the point where we’ll probably start fining people,” Moody said.
