One firefighter did sustain minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital. The cause has not yet been determined, but arson is assisting.



WAVE 3 News received some background on the company from the Kentucky Department of the EPA. Liberty Tire Recycling had been given violation notices at least twice in the last two years for not meeting requirements for the proper storage of waste tires.



Inspectors were on their way to the site Monday to follow up on a violation and arrived as the fire started.



Currently, the company is still not in compliance with state standards.
