Stuart Bedford was 'reckless' to have ignored advice to clear the site beforehand, a judge says.
A man who ran a waste tyre site where a fire blazed for almost three weeks and caused schools to close has been jailed for 12 months.
It was not put out until 5 December, costing the fire service more than £1.1m, and caused 25 schools to temporarily close. Joseph Millington, prosecuting for the Environment Agency, told the court that Bedford was the "controlling mind" behind the site, despite his wife, Vicky, being director of the company running the property.
He said: "Mr Bedford could be in no doubt of not only the illegality of his actions but the concerns the authorities had about him."
