A large Waste Management facility in Denver was evacuated last night as heavy smoke poured from its doors.

Fire crews were at 5395 N. Franklin St. just after 1 a.m. for the “trash/electrical fire,” the Denver Fire Department reported. The building was temporarily evacuated, according to the fire department. No word yet of damage, but there were no injuries.
