Whole lot of smoke — A relatively small blaze can produce smoke that, from a distance, seems like a much bigger fire over a wider area. Such was the case today, Jan. 23, when a crushing machine at DeLand's Central Florida Recycling Center overheated and ignited flammable material close by. No one was hurt in the incident, according to the DeLand Fire Department.

No one injured, fire department said
