A fire at a steel works has prompted a full investigation.

Noone was hurt in the blaze at the Corus coke ovens at Redcar, but production was held up for four and a half hours.

Cleveland Fire Brigade sent nine appliances to the scene.

A spokeswoman for the Anglo-Dutch steel makers said: "Emergency services were called to the scene and the situation was quickly brought under control.

"The situation was managed in accordance with Corus site incident procedures and there is going to be a full investigation into the cause.'' Monday's fire was confined to a turbine at the ovens and caused "limited damage'', the Corus spokeswoman said.
