Firefighters were fighting a huge blaze at a chemical storage and packing company in the Netherlands on Thursday. The fire started early on Wednesday afternoon at Chemie-Pack Nederland BV in an industrial estate in the southern town of Moerdijk, sending a towering plume of thick smoke into the air and causing several powerful blasts, apparently as storage tanks exploded. Police said none of the company's 50 staff were injured.
