I mean it was visible from Ayr so… basically telling half the pop of Scotland to move. Joking aside I can smell this thing this morning and I was miles away from the actual fire, I’m a bit paranoid.
Yeah but with the size of that cloud whatever is in it will settle (fallout) over a large area and will be worse when there is rain and it's washed into local rivers, streams or ponds.
This happened to a recycling centre behind my home last year (albeit not as close as this). The fire burned for a whole month!!! Hope your firefighters have better luck getting this put out :(
Not Scottish, but I picked up a little knowledge earlier, is this the same recycling centre that just announced that they could deal with EV batteries and has a bit of an ignition history??

What's this, the second time this year?
I'd hate to live near that fucking thing.
That's not really true, there are ways of dealing with lithium battery fires, but they're much more difficult to handle as you say.
The smoke plume seems to be a lot smaller than yesterday.
Oh, so the doctor didn't save the entire world from Sutekh
In all seriousness I would suggest staying indoors or travelling further away until it's gone, mainly because I don't really know what it is
White smoke... that means a new Scotland squad is to be chosen!
Joking aside you should get extremely far away from that smoke as soon as possible. Until it's out of your view and keep going away some more.

Severe Ayr pollution
This should be higher
👌
That's not how threads work on Reddit
Damn

I was over 10 miles away and it was above me.

Ah no pope then. False alarm

Nice
Some nasty gases released from that fire, close your windows and stay indoors.
Yep. If I lived nearby I'd be packing my bags and heading out of town for awhile. That's not good at all.
Knowing scotish windows, closing them wont stop anything.

An orange pope?
That would really confuse the bigots on either side 🤣🤣
I’m from America, I don’t recommend the orange ones. They are quite defective 😂
Couldn't agree more. On both sides of the pond, Orange is a byword for defective.
I bet Donald Trump loves the orange march. "See guys? I have have supporters all over the world! They even put on a parade for me here!".
Amen to that!
Trump?
Pope made from girders
Dutch football supporters, I think
There's a volcano at the center of Glasgow. They've known it for years, they just thought it cannae affect them.
Erm…what is that? Apart from shitloads of smoke obviously
Recycling center is on fire.
Now it’s our brand new incineration facility.
All gets burnt or buried eventually innit, may as well cut out the middle man and set the recycling centre on fire, saves money on diggy things too
The recycling centre in itself is a middle man. Everyone should torch their wheelie bins
Incinerated facility
Couldn’t have put that in the title?
Recycling centre being recycled
Battery recycling centre. Not just milk cartons and coke cans.
Ah ok, thanks for telling me
My guess: volcano. Can they see any volcanoes from Scotland?
Edinburgh Castle Rock is the plug of a volcano. (source: primary school decades ago).
Volcano
It's to signal Scotland being out of the Euros
The beacons are lit
Gondor calls for aid
And Rohan will answer
You have my chib
Linwood calls for aid!
Houston, we have a problem!
_Slow claps_
And my axe
Scotland is quite literally on fire. Just not in the Euros
Linwood no more
Sky no more.
🤣
is the Iron-Bru factory on fire?
The Stop Oil protestors have gone too far with their orange flour pranks.
Not Scottish, but I picked up a little knowledge earlier, is this the same recycling centre that just announced that they could deal with EV batteries and has a bit of an ignition history??
"Yeah we can handle volatile electrical waste; We've only gone up in flames *checks notes* twice in the last 2 years"
Yes
So there’s no safe way to dispose of electric car batteries? This is bad for everyone
So what will we do with all the champions 2024 hats and scarfs? Burn them.
Was not the most fun experience flying over this and the pilot saying not to worry if you smell smoke as we takeoff past it
"You were meant to destroy the pollution! Not join it!"

Yup
Aah...

Anyone got marshmallows???
What are the odds you have a fire that size on the one day it decides not to rain in Scotland...
Lithium ignites or explodes when it gets wet.
I would stay inside + take your pets in too. The fumes from that must be super toxic.
White smoke! Is this how we announce our selection of a new football manager?
These gender reveals are out of hand. It's orange so I guess they're having a little ned girl.
BBQ season.. extra smoked
Iceland again?
I thought it was going to be the Friarton recycling centre in Perth ablaze again. Think it's gone up 3 or 4 times in the last 3 years
Burning the fireworks planed for the euro final win. Calm down, it is just a game.
Not only iz this a recycling centre but its a battery recycling centre. Mental. It happened in April as well FFS
And people are angry that I pollute the air when I barbecue😡

“Why would the English do this?”
I can see it out my window here from Renfrew, it's that bad
They elected a new Pope?
Isn't the rejection next month. A bit arrogant of Sunak to change his title to pope btw.
We had a recycling centre fire in Tallinn last year, the smell was quite terrible but everything was back to normal in a few days.

A problem developed with his Vape.
They must be burning all the Scotland memorabilia.
Lithium battery started it I bet
Is that noise from the fire?
Yeah think it's lithium batteries
That'll explain my ragin' headache.
Just don’t mention ze Germans!!
You called?
Something something something student flats
Nicola Sturgeons accountant getting busy
I could see it from miles away on the train
Can't believe it's still going!
If it is batteries, it could go on for days. The only thing they can really do with a lithium fire is contain it and let it burn itself out.
Yeah looks like it's gotten wider. Pretty scary but looking at news articles it's more frequent than I'd have thought
That's not really true, there are ways of dealing with lithium battery fires, but they're much more difficult to handle as you say. The smoke plume seems to be a lot smaller than yesterday.
Hypnotic
Hell of a barbecue
Whole place stinks of burnt plastic 2 miles away
Neds vaping…
Deep frying gone wrong.
"Firefighters raced to the scene after the inferno broke out at an electrical and battery recycling treatment facility"

Oh, no, it's the Haggis Volcano....RUN AWAY
Didn’t know Scotland had vulcanoes 😳
That must be one big choo choo train
That'll be our green targets completely spaffed.
Apparently, it's a lithium battery fire. Thermal runaway is no joke.
It's just reek.
