Fire in the open

At 8.36am on Thursday (20) a crew from Kempston was called to a fire in a shearing machine in Cauldwell Walk, Bedford.        

Onsite staff had attempted to tackle the fire before firefighters arrived. Upon arrival the fire crew, wearing breathing apparatus, used a hose reel to extinguish the fire and high-pressure fans to clear the smoke.  

The cause of the fire was accidental.
