Firefighters attended a fire involving an industrial hydraulic compressor bin shared by several commercial premises.
The electrics were isolated, and one firefighter wearing a breathing apparatus used a hose reel jet to tackle the fire.
Firefighters worked with site staff to understand the bin’s operation and make a plan, as crews were only able to remove a small amount of waste by hand.
A skip company attended to assist and lifted the bin, allowing the remaining contents to be emptied onto the ground.
Firefighters fully extinguished the waste and checked for hotspots using a thermal imaging camera.
An incident handover form was completed and left with the bin company.
