Port Clarence wood recycling plant fire 'under control' | |
(about 6 hours later) | |
Firefighters who have been fighting a large blaze at a wood recycling plant on Teesside for more than 24 hours have declared it "under control." | |
Cleveland Fire Service said thousands of tonnes of wood were destroyed in the fire at the Jigsaw plant in Haverton Hill Road, Port Clarence. | |
A spokesman said there were no reports of injuries and they would be at the scene for several days. | |
At its height, 10 fire crews were tackling the blaze. | |
Nearby residents are still being warned to keep their windows closed because of thick, lingering smoke. | |
Spokesman for the fire service, Barry Waller, said four crews were pumping water directly out of the River Tees to dampen the fire which broke out on Saturday morning. |
