You would have been able to see it for 20 or 30 miles.<br /><br />"I have friends from school who work in the brewery.<br /><br />"I was just hoping that all the staff had got out and no one was hurt, and that no dangerous gasses were being released because there's a primary school there.<br /><br />"I hoped the fire fighters were in positions where they could tackle it safely.<br /><br />"I could see the fire engines on both sides of the brewery."
