Residents Warned to Stay Safe
Thick smoke is pouring out of the site, prompting local authorities to urge nearby residents to keep doors and windows shut. The heavy smoke and ongoing emergency response have also led to traffic disruptions along the A1055, as crews continue their relentless work.

The exact cause of the fire remains a mystery. Fire investigators suspect it may have started from an unattended candle or incense stick igniting textiles, but inquiries are ongoing.
