Smoke from near refinery fire spreads towards Gibraltar

Smoke from near refinery fire spreads towards Gibraltar

I first spotted the billowing black smoke from my West View Park balcony at 3.30pm, said eyewitness Joe Brugada.

The base (affected area) spread rapidly and the huge pall of black smoke was progressively billowing higher and spreading into the bay. An hour later the pall of smoke was overhanging the northern area of the Bay of Gibraltar virtually reaching the area above the North Mole Cruise Ship Terminal.
