They told the Free Press: “Just because of the nature of the smoke, we asked people nearby to keep their windows closed.”

“The smoke will cause a disruption.

“The fire won’t be pushed that far back, it’s just the smoke that will cause the problem.

“It seems to be a refuse pile.”

Another officer said: “It’s not massively serious, it’s currently ongoing and likely to last until the end of the day. 

“It’s a refuse pile on fire which is often used for landfilling as a dump.

"It’s not serious and it’s not the nightclub. 

"We were first made aware at about 1pm and fire service was called first and we’re here to assist them."
