POLICE are still investigating the blaze which ripped through an empty warehouse in Newport.
About 30 firefighters spent more than two hours bringing the huge blaze at the Maltings under control on Saturday afternoon.
Flames and smoke could be seen from some distance. Police blocked off the nearby City Bridge on the Southern Distributor Road while the fire was in progress and for a short while afterwards.
It followed another fire in two derelict buildings on the nearby Black and Clawson's site in Usk Way, Pill.
A spokeswoman for Gwent Police said Saturday's blaze was still being investigated.
