Latest advice on Sherburn tyre fire
North Yorkshire Police are advising residents to keep away from the smoke as much as possible - staying indoors with windows and doors closed.
While the smoke at the fire scene is lower this morning due to light wind and misty weather conditions, it is expected to lift and disperse during the day.
Police have assured people in the area that all the agencies involved are continuing to work hard to minimise the risks to the public and return to normality as quickly as possible.
A 51-year-old man was bailed yesterday by police investigating the cause of the fire.
