Recycling Plant Fire Engulfs Hundreds of Tons

A massive fire tore through a recycling plant in Widnes, swallowing hundreds of tons of cardboard waste and sending smoke visible for over 30 miles. Firefighters from multiple counties battled the blaze all night, forced to attack from the outside due to structural instability. Residents were warned to stay indoors and keep windows shut as smoke lingered, with health officials advising those with breathing issues to seek medical help. Cleanup crews are still working through the smoldering wreckage, and roads remain closed as the scene unfolds — a stark reminder of industrial risk gone dangerously wrong.
