The fire was declared over shortly before 10:00 GMT on Saturday

A probe is under way into the cause of a large fire which torched up to 200 tonnes of waste material at a recycling unit.

Fire crews were called to the blaze at a corrugated iron building at Dee Bank Industrial Estate, Bagillt, Flintshire, on Friday afternoon.

But crews remained at the scene until Saturday morning.

A joint inquiry has been launched by North Wales Police and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service.

People were asked to avoid the area and keep their windows closed to protect them from the smoke.

Fire crews from Deeside, Holywell, Rhyl and Abergele were called at about 16:45 GMT on Friday. Nobody is believed to have been injured because of the fire.

Police have appealed for witnesses.
