Isabelle   10 #553 Posted June 6, 2018 I can now smell it from a mile away indoors. Perhaps burning plastic? You might want to phone the Fire Brigade about evacuation advice if it is really bad where you are - it appears to be getting worse.  A colleague has rung them, they've already got a fire engine there, but they are struggling for access.

Longcol   577 #555 Posted June 6, 2018 It is halfway down the slopes - maybe tyres dumped there? I saw a figure in a fluorescent orange jacket just as it started.  Now thick black smoke as well. It must be a driving hazard as well as a breathing hazard.  It would seem an odd place to dump tyres as it's well up from the village between what were the ski runs - doubt if you could get a vehicle up there.  Smoke doesn't seem as bad now as it was 5 minutes ago.

melv   16 #556 Posted June 6, 2018 I can see the smoke from Meersbrook park. It's about 50m from the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Longcol   577 #558 Posted June 6, 2018 Another big eruption of smoke - maybe a volcanic vent?  Looks to be under where the ski lift used to go up - maybe oil etc in an old engine that powered the ski lift? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

wozman   10 #563 Posted June 17, 2018 Looks like that plume is more tinsley/Rotherham direction to be honest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
