The "reckless" owner of a waste recycling centre which was destroyed in a huge fire has avoided prison.
Shee Recycling in Birtley, Gateshead, went up in flames on 7 February causing disruption to the nearby East Coast Mainline railway, homes and schools.
Clifford Shee, 58, from Roker, Sunderland, had previously admitted a series of waste and fly-tipping offences.
He was given a 30-week suspended sentence at Newcastle Crown Court.
