Firefighters in Cornwall, south-west England have been trying to put out a huge fire which has been destroying a recycling plant since Monday night. 

Cornwall Fire and Rescue said that the blaze at the village of St Erth started at around 2015 p.m. (BST) on Monday and at least seven crews were still fighting it on Tuesday morning, according to a BBC report.

People who live close to the blaze have been advised to close their windows and remain in their homes in order to avoid inhaling the thick, black smoke being emitted from the fire. There are no reported injuries as things stand.
