AN investigation is under way into the major fire which firefighters spent most of yesterday fighting on the Woolston Grange industrial estate at Warrington.
Fire officers were co-operating with local authority building inspectors, local businesses, gas and electricity engineers.
The fire started in Rivington Court at about 11.30am and at its height eight fire engines were involved in the battle.
It spread from one unit to others in the same block, police closed surrounding roads and nearby residents were advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed.
A tactical plan for the demolition of the most severely damaged building is now being discussed and salvage operations have started.
There were no reports of injuries, although firefighters treated one person for smoke inhalation.
Staff at most of the firms in Rivington Court were able to return to work today, but a number had to stay away.
The cause of the fire has not yet been revealed.
