Update on warehouse fire
South Gloucestershire Council have released this update following a warehouse fire on the Beeches Industrial estate last month.
"A deep-seated underground fire is still smouldering at the affected warehouse unit and odour from the unit can be detected some distance from the site. This is because the structure is unsafe and it is difficult for the fire service to gain access and tackle the residual heat which causes it to smoulder and periodically reignite"
They go on to warn about prolonged exposure to the remaining smoke in the immediate area.

Update 15/12/2017: Demolition of the warehouse has now started - see report in the Gazette
Update 21/12/2017: The fire has now been extinguished. 24/7 security will remain on site over the Christmas period just in case of any further problems - see South Glos warehouse fire page
