“It is not known how long it will take for the fire to be put out,” added the spokesman. 

SYFR said a ‘large amount of recycling material’ had caught light. 

Five fire crews worked throughout Saturday to try and extinguish the blaze. 

The SYFR spokesman added: “A fire investigation will take place once the fire is completely out.”
