Agree with Clare, that smoke looks really nasty.

I'd be sleeping with the windows shut firmly tonight

Almost certainly. Styrenes, Acrylics, Urethanes and Vinyl-Chlorides all give off toxic fumes. Chlorine fumes will be devastating for any local wildlife that gets caught up in it, especially with the amount of fledglings in the nest at the moment

Pretty sad really.

Agree with the above. That smoke will be really nasty. You don't want to breathe any of that in if you can possibly avoid it. Even if that means packing up and going to stay with a mate, getting a bit late to do that now though

Something similar near me from a couple of years ago - doesn't half create smoke when plastics go up!

That's nasty. Can't imagine that smoke would be too fsafe to inhale. Probably not the world's biggest bonfire though.

This one was a tad bigger: May 2000, Enschede Holland. 180,000kgs of fireworks went off in the middle of a housing estate. A terribly stupid place to put a fireworks factory. 22 people died, 1,000 injured and 400 houses destroyed.
