“We're making good progress, but will remain on scene for some time. We're delivering 5,000 litres of water a minute onto the fire.
“On site machinery is helping to move the materials, allowing firefighters to reach the deep seated fire.
“This, combined with a change in wind direction, might mean periods when there is more smoke in the area. If you're affected, we recommend keeping windows and doors closed.”
