The cordon at Balthane Industrial Estate was lifted this evening (Tuesday), allowing people to access the site again.

The restriction was put in place following a major fire last night, which destroyed the warehouse of computer recycling company Ask Buck .

The site was evacuated after the discovery of an oxy-acetylene cylinder near the scene.

Assistant divisional fire officer John Murtagh says it's highly explosive, so the area had to be cleared (play audio file):

The cause of the fire will be investigated tomorrow.
