FLY tippers are being blamed for torching a pile of old car tyres, dumped in the heart of the Kirklees Valley.
Thick black smoke could be seen for miles on Wednesday afternoon as the tyres burned. Crews from Bury and Ramsbottom tackled the blazing rubber on land off Garside Hey Road in Brandlesholme.
Bury Times photographer Steve Holt followed the smoke and captured the fire fighters dealing with the incident(pictured)
