Here are the top three stories in Mobile today:

1. The City of Mobile's recycling locations have temporarily stopped accepting glass. The stoppage is necessary due to a machinery breakdown that occurred. The suspension will likely be closed through mid-August. The situation will be monitored on a weekly basis. (Fox 10 News)
2. Is the current housing market making you feel a little overwhelmed? Patch and Redfin.com have teamed up to create a helpful list of the latest Mobile properties that have hit the market. Click to view the full list that includes prices, photos, and property dimensions. (Mobile Patch)
3. A truck caught on fire at Clark's gas station on Water Street. The incident occurred on Friday afternoon. The driver of the vehicle ran into the gas station asking for a fire extinguisher after the truck caught on fire. Things quickly got out of control and the fire completely consumed the truck. The pumps were shut off by station employees. Thankfully, nobody was injured during the incident. (Fox 10 News)
