Around 100 firefighters are tackling a "severe" fire at a paper mill in Birmingham.
More than 15 fire engines and their crews are tackling the blaze at the Smurfit Kappa plant in the Nechells area of the city.
The site in Mount Street is a recycled packaging mill, according to the company website.
A fire service spokesman said the fire was in "a very large outside storage area, containing cardboard bales".
According to its website Smurfit Kappa is one of the leading producers of paper-based packaging in the world with more than 41,000 employees in 32 countries.
West Midlands Police said high winds were hampering efforts to extinguish the fire, which started just after 10pm on Wednesday.
A helicopter was being used to see if the fire had spread to other parts of the industrial estate the paper mill is located on.
A tweet from the police said: "Motorway officers are also monitoring fire due to proximity to M6. No traffic problems at this stage."
