The cause of a huge fire at a Nantwich scrap metal yard which brought large parts of the town to a standstill, remains a mystery.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue investigators have completed a six-week probe into the blaze at Garratt’s Metals, on Alvaston Business Park.

And they told Nantwichnews that they cannot pinpoint a cause and that it will remain “unknown.”

“All avenues have been investigated,” said a spokesman, who added the inquiry is now complete.

The fire, which happened on October 7, forced all major roads around the site to be closed because of plumes of smoke.

That included the Nantwich bypass between Reaseheath and Sainsbury’s roundabouts, as well as parts of the A530 and A500.

Drivers were also warned to keep windows closed  to prevent fumes being inhaled.

No one was injured in the incident.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
