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

erm arent tyres toxic if burnt?


http://www.wasteonline.org.uk/resour...pes_tyres.html


ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF WASTE TYRES
Tyres are designed to last and are therefore difficult to break down and separate into their constituent parts.


Adding to this problem, disposal releases potentially harmful compounds into the environment, e.g. polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene and phenol which have suspected carcinogenic properties. Studies in Sweden estimate that 14 tonnes of PAHs are deposited onto Swedish roads each year through tyre wear (ENDS 1999). Landfill disposal and incineration also release these harmful substances

Hope not not got a gas mask in my cupboard!

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

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

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

Never thought of it that way.:)

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

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

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

Its out now my son went down said it was the yard of tyre place and said news vans were there!

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

I thought it would have been a lot harder to put out than that, specially tyres

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

can't believe i've missed that one! just got on the web and saw the thread. normally i don't miss a thing i'm such a nosey git!!! lol

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

yeah the place is like all smogged up but hte fumes are really bad

the smell of burnin rubber is startin to filter thru

not sure if its caause the winds died too but the whole smoke is just settlin on blackburn rd and below towards asda

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

i think they were very fortunate that they must've had the foam place near by

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

i bet thats getting on your chest, and throat

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

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.

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

jacky - its like a mr bean scene where something huge happens behind him adn he's totally unaware of it

*LOL*

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