Lightning 'may have sparked' Tata Steel fire in Port Talbot


Crews were called to the blaze, which is believed to have started in the coke oven, at about 08:00 GMT on Thursday.

A Tata Steel spokesperson said: "Initial investigations suggest the fire was caused by a lightning strike."
The firm said there were no casualties and manufacturing would resume after the proper checks.
The fire ensued within the coke ovens but we have gone through the main systems in the works and they are able to be up running again," the spokesperson added.
