Video of fire and explosions at North Wales factory



Residents have been urged to stay indoors as fire crews tackle a large blaze and exploding cylinders at a factory in Flintshire.

Billowing clouds of smoke from the Greenfield Business Park near Holywell also caused road and rail disruption.

Around 30 firefighters are dealing with fire, which spread to the Mainetti coathanger factory from a storage area. Trains are disrupted and the A548 coast road is closed from Flint to Prestatyn, with smoke also blowing across the A55.

"Due to the significant smoke, properties have been evacuated and local residents are being advised to keep their doors and windows closed," said a North Wales Fire and Rescue spokesman.
