Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive are currently carrying out a full investigation into the cause of the fire at Rechem International Limited, Pontypool, Gwent on 12 July.

Information obtained from the investigation so far is that it is unlikely that local residents were exposed to any significant risk to their health and safety.
