Smoke warning issued as fire engulfs industrial building in Worcestershire

A large fire at an industrial building near Upton upon Severn, Worcestershire, has prompted warnings for residents to keep windows and doors closed due to heavy smoke. The fire started early Saturday morning and involved several vehicles inside the building. Firefighters responded with seven engines and brought the blaze under control by late morning. However, a significant smoke plume remains, leading to ongoing safety advisories for nearby residents. An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway, with a fire investigation officer on-site. The response has since been scaled back to five fire engines and an aerial ladder platform.
