The Indiana recycling plant fire that prompted the evacuation of 2,000 people was successfully extinguished on Thursday after burning and spewing toxic smoke for days.

Richmond Mayor Dave Snow took to Twitter on Thursday to thank first responders for their hard work and said attention would now turn to the next steps, including determining when the evacuation order could be lifted.
