A spokesman for the fire service said: "We were called by someone who was working at the yard.

"The fire was well established and there was quite a bit of smoke about when we arrived.

"We wore breathing apparatus and four water jets to bring it under control.

"The fire was thankfully contained in the skips.

"Resources were scaled back at around 3am but crews remain at the scene."

An investigation is due to take place to establish the cause.

Nobody was injured during the fire.
