【SMM Steel】A major fire broke out at a processing line at Tata Steel's Port Talbot plant in south Wales around 8pm on June 3 causing part of the building to collapse. Firefighters from 16 stations worked through the night with the response scaled down the following evening. Tata Steel confirmed all personnel were safely evacuated with no injuries. Unite general secretary Sharon Graham confirmed the fire caused substantial damage to a vital production line urging Tata and the government to rebuild operations swiftly and protect jobs at the plant and across the supply chain. The company said the incident was unrelated to a controlled demolition of a redundant gas holder carried out earlier that evening. The full extent of damage and production impact has not yet been assessed.
