A total of 30 vehicles were alight at the height of a blaze at a scrapyard which caused major disruption in a West Yorkshire market town, the fire service has said.

Heavy smoke caused road closures and affected rail travel due to the fire at Station Yard in Dewsbury which started at about 14:30 BST on Monday.

At its peak, six fire crews and an aerial ladder were at the scene to tackle the blaze which had spread from 10 vehicles to 30 in about two hours, according to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Firefighters had been "working hard in extremely hot conditions, using breathing apparatus and large jets to tackle the fire" and it was finally out at about 21:00 BST a spokesperson said.

An investigation into the cause of the fire was under way, they added.
