Firefighters believe a disposable e-cigarette caused a fire at a recycling centre in Forest Town.

Crews from Mansfield and Kirkby’s Ashfield fire station were called to the incident on Saturday, June 10.

An Ashfield station spokesman said: “Several tons of recycling items were on fire and extinguished using two hose-reel jets.

“The cause was suspected to be a disposable e-cig. If you use anything with lithium batteries or button batteries please do not dispose them in your recycling bin.”
