Resident Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Anyway back on topic. Just passed Blackburn Meadows and Fire are still on scene. 3 days for a wood fire? I doubt it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a truck similar to this with the rear skip removed in Fire colours and a blue light bar at the same location. The rear skip looks slightly deeper. Very similar to the new EV fire dousing equipment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkapaka Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I worked on the construction of that station. Watched the very first column being lifted into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak4 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 How come even the least contentious threads get derailed so quickly? Similar to many other industrial sites, there will be a likely be a standard plan set up, ready to instigate for a confirmed fire report from there. Yesterdays update from their Facebook page. South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Blackburn Meadows Incident Update: We can confirm that we were called yesterday (Thursday 18 January) at 7:21pm to reports of a fire involving wood chipping at Blackburn Meadows renewable energy plant on Alsing Road, Sheffield. Due to the location of the incident we mobilised 8 fire engines and a number of additional support vehicles. Overnight we have scaled back our initial response and currently have four fire engines in attendance. The incident is under control and we remain on site to further assist E.ON. We continue to work with our partner agencies and there is currently no risk to the wider community. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because people post without thought, or make assumptions, I apologise for my part in derailing this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to stop people from going any where near it is not the same as letting to burn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen that said, but as it is on private land and a potentially hazardous area, I can understand it. How far away are they being kept?
