Arson Suspected in Recycling Plant Fire

According to a West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman, arson is suspected in the Sunday night fire at Envirowaste in Yapton. Two HGV trailers and almost 2,000 tyres were consumed in the fire at the tyre recycling facility on the evening of November 23.

Spokesman Gary Towson reported that the area where the fire took place “is in a secure compound and there is no obvious reason for it to catch fire.” He said fire and police investigations officers are now investigating the incident.
