Large fire engulfs trailer full of waste in lay-by

A large fire which engulfed an abandoned trailer full of rubbish left in a lay-by is being treated as arson, police have confirmed.
Crews from Shropshire Fire and Rescue were called to the fire on the A41 between Tern Hill and Bletchley, near Market Drayton, at about 21:52 BST on Wednesday.
West Mercia Police had to close the road in both directions as crews brought the blazer under control.
The trailer contained baled waste material and was one of many to be abandoned across the country in recent months.
Police along with Shropshire Council and the Environment Agency launched an investigation in January into the abandoned trailers.
Officials have suggested they could be linked to organised crime.

Fire crews from Market Drayton and Hodnet Retained Fire Station tackled the fire on Wednesday using two high pressure hose reel jets.
The blaze was brought under control after one hour, and a crew remained on scene over night to dampen down the area.

A Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: "Due to this trailer and its contents having been abandoned, and with the potential for there to be hazardous materials within the waste, the Environment Agency were requested to attend in daylight hours to assist with the removal of the trailer.
"We are pleased to report that there were no injuries at this incident, and that no potentially contaminated water runoff entered any water courses."
The A41 has reopened to traffic, and police say inquiries are ongoing.
