A fire produced a giant plume of smoke which was visible for miles around in the St Helens area.
People shared pictures and took to social media to ask about the scenes yesterday (Friday) evening, as the flames lit up the sky and caused clouds of smoke to drift over residential areas. Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service (MFRS) confirmed the fire was caused by a "large quantity of rubbish."
Firefighters spent more than an hour at the scene in Station Road, St Helens, putting out the fire. No injuries were reported.
