Bury landfill fire: Dramatic footage shows scale of blaze
Dramatic drone footage of a fire "the size of a football pitch" at a landfill site has been released by firefighters who have been tackling the blaze.
The fire at Viridor Recycling Centre in Bury, Greater Manchester, began on Sunday and was declared a major incident.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said crews had contained the blaze and were "damping down" remaining fire pockets at the centre in Pilsworth Road, not far from the M66.
The site owners have also arranged for a helicopter to drop water over the fire.
Advice for nearby residents to keep windows and doors closed has now been lifted, the fire service said.
