Flintshire fire: Explosions and fire at 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 the blaze fire, which spread to the Mainetti coathanger factory from a storage area.

Road and rail transport has been disrupted as smoke blows across the area.

Matthew Richards reports from nearby Bagillt.
