Gas cannister explosions and a large fire billowing huge clouds of black smoke broke out at the AWS Eco Plastics plant in Hemswell Cliff, yesterday.

Reports suggest the fire broke out around 14:45, and by 1 the effects of the fire could be seen as far afield as Selby in Yorkshire.

One family-run business with premises adjacent to the fire which erupted in Hangar No. 4 had to be evacuated immediately, and the owners could do nothing as their whole business was razed to the ground.

Police and fire services attended from all over the county and Humber side, with platforms being brought in to help fight the blaze.

Due to the wind direction local residents did not need to vacate their homes, but the fire brigade issued warnings that should there be a change residents were advised to close all windows and doors.

A nearby residential care home did evacuate their guests, but just as a precaution.

Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries, as yet.

It is anticipated damping down procedures will carry on throughout the day, before fire investigation teams can go in to attempt to discover the cause of the fire.
