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

You would think with tommy blanks been on fire a few times over the years they would have a storage unit for the tyres or get them removed say monthly.

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

A friend of mine down the bottom end of Clayton could smell it from there! She thought it was her washing machine about to blow up.

We smelt nothing. Maybe it was down to which way the wind blows.

That looks a mess, what's left, but oddly there are loads of intact tyres in the yard at the Willows Lane side.

It would take a lot of heat to blow up a petrol station.

A friend of a friend work at tommys, when I see him next i have no doubts I will get the full story.

I've heard it said it's expensive to dispose of old tyres.

Not as expensive as to put out a fire of burning tyres.
