Up to 80 people have been evacuated from their homes after a "severe" fire broke out overnight at a recycling plant, emergency crews said this morning.
The blaze began on Western Way in Moxley, Walsall, West Midlands, shortly before 4am and fire fighters cordoned off the area due to the presence of a large quantity of asbestos at the site.
Police evacuated residents while 15 fire engines and 16 fire fighters tackled the flames.
