Anyone planning on driving around Swansea is not going to have a good time.
I live 3 miles away and can smell it

I was driving the M4, coming from the West at about 15:30 today and saw a little smoke, then coming the opposite direction were quite a few Fire Engines at full pelt (about 45mph) and then following some Land Rover Ambulances.  I knew it was going to be something bad, but didn't imagine a Tyre Factory.
