Last updated 7th Mar 2024
Fire crews have worked through the night following a large fire near Southampton St. Mary's stadium.
It broke out on an industrial estate in Marine Parade yesterday lunchtime - with 100 firefighters needed to tackle the flames.
Fire crews believe it started in some plastic pellets being stored on pallets.
It forced last night's Championship match between Southampton and Preston at St Mary's to be postponed.
People in the area are advised to keep windows and doors closed due to the amount of smoke that is still in the area.
Some roads local to the incident are closed and people are advised to avoid the area to allow movements of emergency vehicles.
