Re: Fire in Ossy
 

It used to be owned by a bloke from Verginia Waters in London, but can't remmber his name, TD ex-business partner, used to run the site, but I'm going back about 10 years now

Re: Fire in Ossy
 

i dont know what was been stored in the building but the firebrigade were backing people away because of fear of an explosion,luckily they got it under control pretty quick but i think a few people will be claiming for smoke damage especialy the ones that have just had their houses sandblasted

Re: Fire in Ossy
 

It's reported in the LET that the police suspect arson.

Re: Fire in Ossy
 

The blaze took hold on the ground floor of the building off Stonebridge Lane, Oswaldtwistle, at around 8.20pm last night.

Six fire engines were called to the scene and firefighters were battling the blaze for hours after tyres within caught fire.


which factory has tyres in it?

Re: Fire in Ossy

Re: Fire in Ossy
 

I'm always being stopped by people looking for a garage in there.

A few years ago there were a lot of small industrial units situated behind the arches, don't know if they're still there or not:confused:
