Around 20 firefighters were called to the Gaydon landfill site, in Banbury Road at just after midnight.

The fire, on open land at the site, also involved a van, a loading shovel and a diesel tank.

Crews from Southam, Fenny Compton and Leamington Spa have been using agricultural vehicles to move unburnt refuse away from the fire.
