Firefighters tackle recycling blaze at Pontyclun | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A large number of firefighters are continuing to tackle a blaze at a recycling centre in Rhondda Cynon Taf. | |
Emergency services were called at 04:30 BST to Celtic Waste Management Services Ltd on Coedcae Lane, Pontyclun. | |
Earlier on Tuesday 50 firefighters were at the scene, but South Wales fire service said at 08:30 BST the incident was being scaled down. | |
However, three engines remain. Natural Resources Wales is examining how to remove remaining waste material. | |
As well as a large number of officers, three fire engines, a water bowser and a hose-laying vehicle are still at the scene, and a fire service spokeswoman said they were expected to remain for some time. | |
At one stage, crews from 11 stations were in attendance. | |
The service is working to relieve crews who have been tackling the blaze since the early hours. | |
Coedcae Lane was closed, but later re-opened. |
