Aerial images of the fire at the LEA plant in Vitoria-Gasteiz
The big fire this afternoon is considered controlled because it is not expected to spread, but it will take "time" to extinguish it completely.
The fire has left no injuries, but two neighbourhoods have had to be confined for two hours due to intense smoke. The fire started around 1.45 p.m. and the accident could have been caused by a tanker truck transporting chemicals to the company.
