Lantern starts fire at British recycling plant

Fire fighters tackle a large blaze at a recycling centre in Smethwick, near Birmingham, central England July 1, 2013 in a handout picture provided by the West Midlands Fire Service. The fire service said they suspected the blaze was started when a lantern, a collapsible paper lantern lit by a candle, drifted into the centre which holds 100,000 tonnes of recycled paper and plastic. Up to 200 firefighters and 40 fire engines have been deployed. [Photo/Agencies]
