Recycling plant blaze

TWO fires at industrial units in Heyside this morning are believed to have been started deliberately.

Around 30 firefighters tackled a blaze in a pile of plastic at a recycling plant in Meek Street at 2.30am.

An aerial appliance was used as fire crews stopped it spreading to a building.

A portable cabin around 200 yards away was also set on fire at about the same time. Again, firefighters battled to prevent the flames spreading to a building.

It is not known if the two incidents are linked.
