CLOUDS of black smoke floated over Blackley.
Firefighters from Elland and Halifax tackled a blaze at the former brickworks site on Blackley Road.
Piles of plastic granules left on the site had been set alight at around 7.30pm on Tuesday night.
A spokesman from Elland fire station said: "The blaze looked quite spectacular because of the thick, black smoke, but it took us just a few minutes to put it out."
It was one of several similar blazes there in the past few months.
