Residents have been evacuated and explosions heard after a huge fire ripped through a derelict factory with 100 firefighters tackling the blaze.
Emergency services were called to the scene in Lower Horseley Fields in Wolverhampton just after 9pm yesterday.
Residents reported hearing "loud bangs" on Monday evening.
Dramatic photos and footage of the fire capture the sheer size of the blaze and it was declared a major incident around 10pm.
At its height, 28 fire engines were on the scene, with the brigade using a thermal imaging drone to identify hotspots in the blaze, which at one stage covered a fifth of a square kilometre.
The fire was so large reports say it was seen 15 miles away in Shropshire.
