Firefighters leave scene of blaze at AmeyCespa in Waterbeach

An investigation into the cause of the fire may conclude it started accidentally

A recycling plant blaze that was tackled by 60 firefighters in Cambridgeshire is finally out.

Flames destroyed about 15,000 tonnes of organic waste material at the AmeyCespa plant on Ely Road, Waterbeach, on Friday morning.

Firefighters left the scene on Friday evening following a handover to on-site management.

Early investigations have concluded the fire started accidentally.

Group Commander Chris Parker, officer in charge of the incident, said crews working with staff at Amey were able to put the fire out much sooner than anticipated.
