Covanta waste-to-energy plant fully recovers from devastating fire

LORTON -- After a two-alarm fire shut down their facility in February of last year, Covanta Fairfax in Lorton has resumed operations.

The fire inside the waste-to-energy plant raged for nearly two weeks, and fire crews battled the blaze for just as long.
