Fire at CLI

On Saturday 8th October, firefighters were called to a blaze at the Charles Lawrence International rubber recycling plant on the Brunel Industrial Estate in Newark. More than 80 firefighters and ambulance staff and 13 fire engines attended the incident.

According to BBC Radio Nottingham, a cloud of dense, black smoke was visible from five or six miles away and visibility was affected for drivers on the A1 and A46 major routes.

Despite this, no-one was injured and damage is believed to be minor, with CLI hoping that full production will be restored shortly.
