A large fire has recently broke out at a large industrial unit near Newcastle. Residents nearby are being asked to keep their windows and doors shut due to the amount of smoke. Hopefully the fire crews will have the fire under control soon.
Fires in industrial units can cause many problems for firefighting crews depending on what processes take place inside the units and what hazardous and flammable materials are present. Typically, fire crews will visit these type of buildings throughout the year to familiarise themselves with the layout and hazards.
Hopefully a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment was in place.
