Firefighters remain at the scene of large fire that broke out in a Cardiff tyre garage.
Residents in a large part of the city were told to keep their windows closed as more than 80 firefighters from Wales and England tackled the blaze.
The roads around the industrial estate on Seawall Road remained closed on Monday morning.
Pictures from the scene, showed the building engulfed in flames as firefighters battled the blaze.
Residents living nearby were told to keep their windows closed, with one resident claiming they had to leave because of the "black, acrid smoke".
Fire crews say they were called to the scene at 6.51pm on Sunday and pictures show them battling the fire late in to the night.
The fire was brought under control just after midnight.
Sajjad Anwar, owner of Topline Tyres, said he was called yesterday evening by a number of locals who told him his garage was on fire.
The 36-year-old father of four, said he is devastated after working so hard to build his business up.
He said: "I got so many phone calls to say that the garage was on fire and I rushed down. Nothing could be done anyway because the building was already on fire and the flames were crazy.
"We have no idea how this happened, we follow all our safety procedures. It took me ten years to build this up from scratch, now we have nothing not even a power socket.
"You can ask any of the locals and they'll tell you how hard we have worked to get to the position we are in. Check the Google reviews and you will see what kind of people we are.
"Times are hard already and now I am out of work and also my workers are out of pocket also."
Mr Anwar added: "I want to thank everyone, all the local community for their support and what they've done for me.
"Since last night, my phone hasn't stopped ringing and I want to thank the local community and my customers who have given me the most amazing support."
One witness to the fire, said: "If you live in Cardiff, close all windows. Smoke and smell spreading rapidly with winds. If you live Tremorfa, Splott, Adamsdown, Pengam Green and potentially Roath or Rumney, close all windows.
"Huge fire happening right now in Tremorfa, Seawall Road and smoke and smell is spreading."
These pictures show the extent of the damage caused by the fire.
A spokesman for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, said: "At approximately 6:51pm on Sunday 8th November 2020 we received reports of a large fire on Seawall Road in Splott, Cardiff.
