A fire broke out at the SCA recycling centre in Mercer’s Row, Abbey at around 9.10am on 11th August.
Four crews from Cambridge, Cottenham, Huntingdon and Sawston attended the fire.
The fire destroyed over 150 tonnes of paper but it is reported that no injuries were caused by the fire and the building was not damaged.
Steve Smith from the company said: “Our site manager is meeting with fire officers this morning to try to establish the cause. We are not quite sure what happened but we do not believe it was suspicious in any way. Sometimes things like this just happen at recycling plants when the paper bales get overheated. There will not be a company investigation beyond what we are working on with the fire service.”
