Firefighters still were working to contain a large fire at the Evergreen Pallet Recycling Center in Park City on Monday afternoon. The fire was reported around 6:48 p.m. on Sunday at the center, 300 W. 53rd Street N. in Park City. The intensity of the fire closed a portion of 53rd street between Arkansas and Broadway that has since been reopened. People are being asked to drive safely through the area as the fire is still burning, the Park City Police Department said. The fire is “consuming multiple piles of pallets and mulch, covering approximately 10 acres of the grounds,” Sedgwick County Fire District 1 said in a Facebook post.
