Are you aware of any other incidents lately involving Waste Recycling Center's in the UK??
In Ireland we have had quiet a few major fires recently involving Waste Recycling center's. Its reported it criminal gangs at work in a "Soprano-esc turf war" as the waste industry has become quiet profitable
The problem is, we cant just rock up, put the wet stuff on the yellow stuff, pack up and go home anymore...BritishAndy said:I was told by a pal who works in control for the LFB (dispatch) that this fire was a confirmed Make Pumps 40 - which I guess is probably the same as a nine/ten alarm. Basically, in the UK its as big as it gets. They also had numerous special trucks including Command Units, aerial appliances and Hose Layers.
