Thick plumes of smoke were seen overhead on Monday afternoon after a blaze broke out at a recycling centre in Clifton, Salford. Fire crews rushed to the commercial site, on Rake Lane, on Monday (July 4) after a heap of rubbish set alight.
It has since been confirmed that the fire also involved a digger in the shed of the commercial property. Crews were first called out to the scene shortly before 3pm in the afternoon.
Videos taken from the scene show thick black smoke escaping from the site and billowing overhead, with the fire brigade in attendance attempting to dampen the blaze. As of 5pm, the fire was still roaring on, as crews continued to try and put it out.
