Fire in an industrial building

Firefighters from Brentwood, Basildon and Rayleigh were called to an incident on Little Warley Hall Lane, West Hordon this afternoon. 

When crews arrived, they reported a fire in an industrial unit measuring 15 metres by 15 metres. Firefighters wearing Breathing Apparatus entered the building to extinguish the fire.

Station Manager, Jeremy Tuckwell said: “Firefighters worked hard to bring the fire under control and stop it spreading to other units. Crews are now dampening down the area and monitoring for any hotspots.” 

An investigation into the cause of the fire will take place once the scene is fully cooled.
