A recycling centre in South Gloucestershire is to stay shut until later this week after a fire broke out there yesterday (May 17).
The huge fire at the recycling centre in Mangotsfield saw locals being told to keep windows and doors shut as fire crews from eight stations in Bristol attended the blaze. In total, 10 fire engines, a drone unit and welfare unit attended the huge fire on Carsons Road - the cause of which is thought to be accidental.
A significant amount of refuse caught fire at one of the non-recyclable waste areas at the Mangotsfield tip on Carsons Road. The road was blocked as people were urged to avoid the area.
