Firefighters have tackled a blaze which sent toxic smoke
over the east of Hull.
The fire at a plastics recycling unit on Helsinki Road on
the Sutton Fields Industrial Estate which started in the early hours of
yesterday morning is now under control. At its height, 60 firefighters were at
the scene and water had to be pumped from the nearby river.
Chief Fire Officer for Humberside Fire & Rescue
Services Richard Hannigan said the flames were 30m-40m high at the peak of the
fire.
"We've got the situation well and truly under
control" he said. "Four appliances are at the scene damping down.
We're now into the investigation phase of the incident to try and discover the
cause of the fire. We want to prevent this happening again," he said.
