Arson 'likely cause' of Fleetwood plastic waste fire
A major fire at a refuse tip is believed to have been started deliberately, Lancashire Fire and Rescue has said.
The fire broke out at a warehouse containing 3,000 tonnes of baled plastic waste on Jameson Road in Fleetwood on Saturday evening.
Around 50 firefighters were involved in tackling the blaze at its height.
A boy, 16, who lives locally, was arrested and bailed pending further inquiries, Lancashire Police said.
He will have to report to a police station on 16 June.
Local roads were closed and residents at a nearby caravan park were told to stay indoors. No-one was hurt.
John Taylor of Lancashire Fire and Rescue said because of the remote location and "a process of elimination" the fire was being treated as arson.
