A massive fire broke out at the Fenix battery recycling plant in Scotland's Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, on Saturday—exactly one year after a similar blaze devastated the same site.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) dispatched six fire engines around 12:40 PM to battle the flames, which locals described as causing a series of loud explosions. While there were no reported injuries, several nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution.
Thick grey smoke and orange flames could be seen billowing over the site as crews worked to bring the fire under control. Police confirmed that the blaze has since been contained, but a cordon remains in place with some road closures still in effect.
