Spanish Tyre Dump

Spanish authorities allowed residents near a giant tyre dump blaze to return home on Saturday, saying that toxic fumes billowing from the rubber heap posed less of a risk although the fire has yet to be extinguished.

At least 1,000 people were evacuated from their homes on Friday after a huge tyre dump near Madrid went up in flames in a suspected arson attack, sending a massive black cloud of toxic fumes into the sky.
