An "awful" smell and intensely bright light filled the sky in parts of Merseyside last night.
People living across Merseyside, particularly Wirral, reported a huge fire lighting up the night's sky on Sunday, January 8. One woman even said she mistook it for a fire at her neighbour's home, while others reported an "awful" smell.
Many caught the fire on camera. Claire Hargreaves captured huge plumes of smoke rising into the sky, saying "this can't be normal."
