A ‘waste’ fire has seen emergency services attend Wrexham Industrial Estate last night.

We are told the incident took place close to Alans Skip Hire by Redwither Road on the industrial estate around 8:30pm with crews on scene until around 1am.

As of 11pm last night fire crews are still at the scene, with around 4-5 engines parked at various places close by. Crews did not leave the scene until around 4:30am this morning.
