Jul 22 2009 by Trevor Roberts
MORE than 100 people were evacuated when a huge fire at AWM Recycling sent smoke clouds containing lethal asbestos over their homes today. Police officers wearing face-masks hurried worried residents in their nightclothes into vans to get them away from the thick black smoke which enveloped part of Moxley, near Walsall.
