Police warn residents living within a two-mile radius of a "significant" blaze at a recycling plant to keep doors and windows shut amid fears asbestos could be burning.
Officers say the fire at Siteserv on the Llandow Industrial Estate, Vale of Glamorgan, could burn for two days.
The fire broke out at 19:20 GMT on Tuesday and 45 firefighters attended.
Investigators are expected at the plant on Wednesday.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "The premises ablaze has asbestos in the roof and, as a precautionary measure, residents within a two-mile radius, particularly in the direction of Llantwit Major and Southerndown, are requested to keep their doors and windows closed.
"The following premises in the nearby vicinity are likely to be affected and visitors and employees may experience some inconvenience as a result - Powercafe, BPLG UK, Llandow Circuit, Keyline Products, QU paving, and JWB Recycling."
South Wales Fire and Rescue said it sent 12 engines and six water ladders.
Scenes of crime and fire investigators are expected at the plant on Wednesday.
Siteserv was set up more than 16 years ago by brothers Nigel and Philip England.
Earlier this year they went on trial at Cardiff Crown Court accused of illegally dumping waste on the site.
Nigel, 50, and Phillip, 61, argued they were allowed to fill in a 100m-wide (328 ft) hole to make it more manageable for crops.
They were found not guilty of 11 charges at the end of their trial in August.
