Sheffield Ski Village On Fire Again Thread

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I can see the smoke from Meersbrook park. It's about 50m from the top.

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?

Is it on fire again? There's a big plume of smoke coming from that direction.
