Merseyside Fire and Rescue have issued an update following the huge fire in Wilson Road, Huyton
Electricity has been cut near to a huge blaze which engulfed a recycling centre in Huyton earlier this week. Emergency services rushed to the scene of a huge fire on Tuesday evening after it tore through a recycling centre in Wilson Road.
"Earlier yesterday evening operational personnel used a mechanical digger, one main jet and one high pressure hose reel on the external pile of waste. Two ground monitors were used to damp down inside the warehouse. One aerial appliance was set up to monitor the rear of the warehouse. There was also two additional ground monitors and one main jet in operation, with relief crews on scene to assist colleagues around the clock.
"Sector four consisted of two ground monitors and one main jet in use. Due to a change in wind speed and direction, a number of small pockets of fire reignited, with two firefighters in BA working quickly from the doorway of the warehouse to suppress the fire. The tactical plan was updated and two firefighters in BA used one hose reel jet inside Locker Freight to prevent fire spread.
