A large fire at a compost production business in St Johns could burn for days, the Fire and Rescue Service has said.
Business owner at Ballaneven Compost on the Poortown Road, John Kneen, has said that the material was due to be shredded and sold over the coming months.
The materials spontaneously combusted on Tuesday and strong winds have been fanning the flames, but the blaze is being managed and poses no threat to buildings, land or livestock.
Firefighters have said the fire and smoke will be visible for miles while being whipped up by winds.
