An MP has called for a "national conversation" on lithium battery fires after a large blaze at a waste recycling site.
Six fire engines and aerial ladder platforms were sent to Wallace Way in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, at 02:30 GMT after a large fire.
More than 60 emergency calls were made to report the fire and a high-volume pump was set up, resulting in the closure of a junction between Cadwell Lane, Wilbury Way and Woolgrove Road.
There have been multiple waste site fires in Hitchin recently. Labour MP Alistair Strathern hoped to spark conversation on the dangers of batteries fires, but admitted it was too soon to tell the exact cause of this incident.
There is now a fires & explosions (and other disasters/accidents) all around the world play list, for those interested, entitled:
