finite   10 #3 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Assuming its 512 freight forwarders between metallis (formerly van dalen scrap merch) & htc (west) on grange mill lane, lower shiregreen, (Wooley wood bottom area) where a unit for storing god knows what has ignited? Been burning for an hr now As latters posts confirm: it was metallis, (& not the 1st time nor will it be the last?)
