A large fire broke out at the Super Smart Services warehouse in Cannock, Staffordshire, causing significant disruptions. The incident occurred near the Cannock Orbital Retail Park and prompted evacuations of nearby businesses and a warning for residents to keep windows and doors closed.
The fire, visible for miles due to large plumes of black smoke, involved multiple explosions that were reported by witnesses. Emergency services, including 10 fire engines and additional specialist equipment, responded swiftly to the scene. Despite the challenge, no injuries have been reported as the warehouse was unoccupied at the time of the fire.
The incident also coincided with a traffic disruption following a collision involving two lorries on the M6, though train services in the area remained unaffected. Authorities continue to manage the situation and have issued updates as they work to control the blaze.
