A fire which started on 20th August could continue to burn for several days.
Firefighters from across the West Midlands attended the fire at the ENR scrapyard in Nechells, Birmingham at around 7pm on 20th August. Over 100 tonnes of scrap metal went up in flames.
Jim Sinnett from West Midlands Fire Service said: “This is going to take some days maybe to be fully extinguished. But as long as we have got water in there and it doesn’t spread and cause any further damage we will be quite satisfied with that.”
An investigation into the cause of the fire will now be carried out.
