Footage shared on social media shows large plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky near the A460 Orbital Island in Cannock with 10 fire engines rushing to the scene at 6:15am.
Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service said the fire started at Super Smart Services – a distribution warehouse “which contains a variety of different materials for delivery”.

Likely to be more Chinese Li Ion batteries exploding?
ETA, looks like a 3pl that dropships for multiple companies so battery explosion seems likely.

Near the office I'm not in today - will have to see if any of my colleagues can see the plume of smoke. Fortunately we're about 6 miles away.
