Firefighters have spent the night tackling a blaze at a large recycling warehouse.

Crews from seven stations were called to Cressex Business Park in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, at 01:00 BST.

The fire affected a building measuring 80m by 60m (262ft by 196ft).

Crews left the scene at about 13:46.

Local business and residents were asked to keep "doors and windows closed" due to the smoke, Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue warned earlier.

It added the fire happened at a "large component for recycling materials" in Coronation Road.

"The incident has now been handed over to the site manager," a spokesperson said on Tuesday.
