Residents of Wellington Road in Greenfield were advised to close windows and stay indoors due to smoke and an acrid smell from a fire at the former Donkey Stones brewery. A chemical specialist was called to assess the danger of the fumes.
Fire crews rushed to Wellington Road in Greenfield on Sunday after thick smoke and a sharp chemical odor poured from the former Donkey Stones brewery, prompting urgent warnings for residents to seal their homes.
The acrid haze drifting over the street shortly after midday led authorities to order householders to shut windows and remain indoors while a hazardous-materials specialist was called in to identify the fumes and determine whether they posed a health risk.
Firefighters established a cordon around the disused brewery site as the chemist conducted tests; officials said they would not lift the shelter advice until laboratory results confirmed the air was safe to breathe.
