my brother lives round the corner and i just asked him about the fire he said what fire lol he's just been out to have a look and said that the fire brigade are still there,fancy living round the corner and not noticing that there was a huge fire going on

Re: HUGE fire on blackburn rd right now...
 

hmmm

its not so bad everywhere in the house as i closed the windows real early and we all closed the doors etc

but where i am - my office room there's an airvent thats basically a covered hole in the wall and its all streaming from there

its all quiet now - they've routed the traffic around past the doc surgery

quite a few fire engines still around - the environmental ppl have placed some sort of mats on the water and the drains - not sure what they're meant for - maybe to soak up the oil? they dont actually seem to be wet from the water

there's another vehicle there which seems like an interesting thing - it has like a 15ft pole with a camera on it and *i think* has a loud speaker to relay stuff - some sort of incident support unit.
