Residents' terror over huge fire at battery plant
...
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) sent six fire appliances to tackle the blaze at the Fenix plant on Byrehill Place in Kilwinning at about 12:40.

Police said there had been no reported casualties but several houses in the area were evacuated as a precaution. The blaze, which locals said caused a series of explosions, was later brought under control, with crews now dampening down the scene.

It comes exactly a year after the SFRS battled another fire at the site which raged for two days
...
Environment agency Sepa said its officers had attended the site "to take samples from nearby watercourses, and will continue to monitor the situation closely".

A spokesperson added: "We appreciate that this matter will concern local residents and businesses, and we would urge everyone to follow the advice issued by public partners."

Last September, Sepa revoked Fenix Battery Recycling's waste management licence as part of an "enhanced package of enforcement action".

The firm was required to remove any waste that breached the licence to another facility.

The enforcement action meant it has to meet guidelines by June, including removing fire debris, repairing damaged infrastructure and implementing a fire prevention and mitigation plan.

Fire at the University of Tuscia, the Public Prosecutor's Office opens an investigation | The Municipality: “Close all windows”
The fire, which started on the roof of the Faculty of Agriculture, is spreading to other buildings. There are no reports of injuries.

Missing worker found

The fire broke out at around 10 a.m., when the university was in full swing. Students, teachers, and staff were evacuated from the offices and classrooms of the Riello campus. No one was injured. The thick column of black smoke rising from the University of Tuscia is visible from miles away. The fire, which started in the Faculty of Agriculture, is spreading to another building in block C. In addition to the fire department, a specialized army unit also intervened. The flames are believed to have spread from the roof, where work was being carried out. The fire then reached the chemistry and genetics laboratories below, where highly flammable substances were stored, including 500 liters of ethanol and nitrogen protoxide cylinders. This necessitated the creation of an evacuation cordon with a radius of 500 meters from the burning building.
