    A member of the K.A Anderson management, who was on the main gate to the premises to give fire crews access to the site, told the Stray Ferret:

    "Nobody has been injured, it's simply a fire that has started in a skip."

    The fire was quickly brought under control by the fire crews



    Thick clouds of dark acrid smoke billowed into the sky over Dallamires Lane, as officers worked to put out the fire.

    They quickly had it under control.

    K. A Anderson, a specialist in all aspects of metal recycling, is a third generation family-run business, operating for almost half a century,

    It says on the company website that the recycler has built a professional reputation for scrappage, processing and raw metals supply throughout the UK.

    The company provides a complete metal recycling service, for many businesses and its major clients include Google and Lord's Cricket Ground.
