Crews remain on-scene after a fire at a waste depot.
Just after 16:00 BST on Monday, West Midlands Fire Service was called to a "significant fire" that had spread across three-quarters of the large building at Meriden Depot.
At its height, 60 firefighters, nine fire engines, two 4x4 vehicles and a hydraulic aerial platform were at the scene off Cornets End Lane, near Meriden, along with a specialist high-volume water-pumping unit.
The fire service said there had been no casualties, and two appliances would remain at the site from 08:00 BST on Tuesday, dealing with "significant hotspots".
The service was unable to confirm the cause of the blaze.
On Monday evening, the fire service said crews were working to protect the rest of the building, which was about 80m (260ft) by 40m (130ft).
The fire service said nobody was hurt in the fire
