supersonic   11 #38 Posted September 4, 2014 At first I thought it was the wood recycling/composting place that had gone up. I cycle past a lot, and you can see giant mounds of chippings in the yard as the machines do their stuff.  I can't really find much info on the industrial estate itself and what is exactly located where.

supersonic   11 #41 Posted September 4, 2014 There's a brook (Blackburn Brook) that separates them - I imagine the fire service will be pumping water straight out of it, they might have this put out quicker than expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If it is them, they use that building as a waste transfer station and its always full of rubbish . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mr Bloom   10 #44 Posted September 4, 2014 Sky News have just said that the building(s) may contain asbestos and have advised all residents nearby to keep windows closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

supersonic   11 #46 Posted September 4, 2014 Those pictures are amazing , thanks for that mate , bet you could feel the heat!!!  No probs! Was very hot indeed! Just been up to take some more pics:  http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp87/supersonic525/fire-10_zpsaf157464.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp87/supersonic525/fire-6_zpsd65e80ec.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp87/supersonic525/fire-9_zpsd7aca1be.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp87/supersonic525/fire-8_zpsc63e2242.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp87/supersonic525/fire-7_zps32b02866.jpg  The wind is unusually blowing from the east - straight over my house :-(. Is a fine ash everywhere, and it stinks. The crew can only use so much water to protect the the local environment and not fill the stream with plastic waste. Was 2000 tons of plastic in an asbestos shed, and the paint sprayers next door went up too. Still shut off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
