For the first time since a massive fire tore through a Houston recycling facility, the managing director of Mammoth Metal Recycling is speaking publicly.

Managing Director, Prateek Desai, told KPRC 2 News Reporter Corley Peel that the company is making sure this doesn't happen again.

He told KPRC 2 News Reporter Sandy Torres at the scene that he was in Dallas when the fire broke out and immediately returned to Houston to work with city officials and firefighters.
