A significant fire has erupted on the High Street on Friday evening (27th June 2024) prompting the response of multiple fire crews. The blaze, described by one bystander as a “massive fire under the flyover,” has caused considerable concern in the local area.
Several fire engines, totalling six, have been dispatched to tackle the inferno. The fire has been reported to involve cylinders, adding to the urgency and complexity of the situation.
Emergency services were alerted to the fire earlier today, and crews are currently working to bring the situation under control. The presence of cylinders suggests a potential risk of explosions, making the firefighters’ task even more hazardous.
Local residents and businesses are advised to stay clear of the area to allow emergency services to manage the incident safely and effectively.
Traffic diversions have been put in place, and authorities are urging the public to avoid the vicinity if possible.
