Dramatic video footage has been released showing a fire at a fireworks factory in Stafford.
The blaze started around 5pm yesterday and 50 firefighters tackled it at its peak.
One person remains missing following the fire, and two others were treated in hospital for serious burns and smoke inhalation.
Thick smoke and bursts of colour from the ignited fireworks could be seen across the area, and one witness described the scene as “like November the 5th 10 times”.
Superintendent Jane Hewett of Staffordshire Police said: “On Friday we will continue to investigate this incident and work to ensure everyone is accounted for.
“Sadly, at this stage, we believe there is a person unaccounted for and our focus remains tracing those at the factory shortly before the explosion.
“A joint investigation into the incident is already under way, which will work to establish the cause and circumstances immediately before the fire.”
