A Sheffield waste centre is in pieces today following a raging fire last night in a ‘busy evening’ for the fire service.

The waste recycling centre on Clement Street, in Attercliffe, was destroyed in a major fire that broke out at around 8pm yesterday (May 1).

Eight fire engines were involved at the height of the blaze. Photos shared by south Yorkshire Fire & Rescue show firefighters aiming hoses into raging flames at the scene.

The cause of the fire has been recorded as accidental.

These photos were shared by the fire service.
