I noticed billows smoke around 10 am, We heard a few explosions.

It is remains pretty serious. One person unaccounted for.
Nearby residents have been evacuated from their homes.

Just found out the factory is Leeson Polyurethanes Ltd.

Taken from my garden.

Had a warehouse not far from me go up a couple of weeks back and a few years ago an engine tuning business went up, I remember the whistling as various projectiles shot through the air, and afterwards the melted window frames of the closest homes. This is why I generally don't approve of mixing industrial units and homes.

It's a huge fire. Someone sent me a picture of the smoke from the far side of Warwick.

I should think there will be protests if they attempt to build anything that dangerous with hazardous chemicals near a residential area. I don't blame them.

Just a question:- If they are looking for a missing member of staff, he may well have got caught in the inferno and been incinerated. How would they be able to trace any evidence? Not easily I should think.

Bones will likely be present, Margaret, typically the thicker bones. I believe even crematoriums use bone crushers as the heat is insufficient to render them down properly. Years ago we used a contractor for maintaining our engine test beds, his main line of business was bone crushers in crematoriums.

Oh I didn't realise that. God, what a job!

I imagine there would be a lot of rubble to sift through.

The HSE are still finalising their findings. It was one hell of a fire: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/frustration-voiced-at-wait-for-report-into-massive-leamington-factory-fire-46649/
