RESIDENTS have been told to keep windows and doors closed as fire crews tackle a major blaze involving around 200 tonnes of commercial waste in Port Talbot.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Port Talbot, Neath, Morriston, Ammanford, Tumble, Carmarthen, Pontarddulais and Glynneath were called to the incident at Dock Road.
Firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service are also supporting the operation.
The incident remains ongoing, and members of the public have been urged to avoid the area to allow emergency services access.
A spokesperson for Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said local residents should keep windows and doors closed if there is thick smoke nearby.
The service also urged people only to call 999 if lives or property are in immediate danger, so control room operators can manage resources effectively.
