Ten fire crews tackled a huge blaze at a wasteyard in Leeds on Sunday evening.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews were called shortly before 9pm on March 1 to reports of a wasteyard fire on Copley Hill in the Holbeck area of Leeds.
A total of 10 crews tackled the blaze on Sunday evening.
At the height of the fire a total of four large jets and four breathing apparatus were used.
Residents in the area of Copley Hill, and north of the fire, in the Armley area are asked to keep their doors and windows shut and to avoid the area due to a large amount of smoke.
Four crews remain at the scene this morning, WYFRS said.
Work is expected to continue throughout the day monitoring for hotspots at the scene.
