A fire at Tata Steel in Port Talbot, south Wales, has caused "substantial damage to a vital production line", according to the Unite union

The fire service is urging people to stay away from the area while crews deal with the incident

The fire broke out on Wednesday night and has caused part of the building to collapse, making it difficult to contain, a relief team says

Tata Steel says all staff are accounted for and have been safely evacuated

Small wisps of smoke are still visible rising from behind the buildings, although the thick plumes last night have now disappeared, according to our reporter at the scene
