In pictures: Paper plant fire

The building's frame has melted in the heat. Firefighters said buildings like this were designed to collapse inwards.

Firefighters think the blaze could take a few days to burn out.

Engineering director Paul Turner captured this picture of smoke billowing from the building.

Residents were advised to stay indoors, but despite some fears, firefighters said the smoke plume had "dissipated" by the time it reached Connahs Quay.

Steve from Chester works at the nearby Toyota plant and sent in this picture. He said he hoped nobody was injured.

Jamie Kelly works opposite the plant and sent in this shot.

James Atkinson, an IT administrator took this picture at about 1130 BST.
