Industrial estate reopens after warehouse fire
Businesses on an industrial estate have been allowed to reopen after a huge fire at a warehouse. A major incident was declared at Sanders Lodge in Rushden, Northamptonshire on Friday as 15 crews tackled a blaze at the Monoworld recycling site. Access roads were reopened on Sunday afternoon but Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service said a crew remained at the site to damp down any hotspots. It advised people to keep doors and windows closed due to lingering smoke and to leave if levels became too high. A post on social media said: "If, due to the wind direction, properties are affected by smoke, businesses are advised to monitor and risk-assess the situation accordingly as to whether they stay or vacate their premises." Group commander Jim Dorrill told the BBC it was the largest blaze to happen in the county in a decade but there were no reports of any injuries. Smoke from the site could be seen from several surrounding counties, including Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. Follow Northamptonshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
