Dust near an electrical device is believed to have ignited a plastics factory in

Cardiff overnight.


The fire occurred at the MIRteq Factory in

Sturt Road

around 7pm.


A 100-metre exclusion zone was set up amid fears the fire could have ignited a number of gas cylinders.


Four nearby homes were evacuated and train services were suspended along the

Newcastle

and

Central

Coast

line, until the fire was brought under control.
