A "bunch of junk" from the Nervacero company in Trapagaran was set on fire on Monday night and the black and toxic cloud extended for a long time in the vicinity, as fire fighters delayed completely extinguishing the fire, they reported. It's been suffocated at night.

The fire began at around 20:00 hours in an area with a large concentration of metal waste, where two explosions have been produced of different consideration. There were no injuries, as there were no staff on site.

The neighbours of Portugalete were alerted urgently to close the windows, as black and toxic smoke was spreading from the Nervacero company. Believing it could reach Sestao, they did the same thing there.
