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

[lillypad]

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

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

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

[flashy]

i bet thats getting on your chest, and throat

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

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.

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