Fire at Thames Oilport

Firefighters are currently at the scene of a small fire at the old Thames Oilport site in Coryton.

It is a small fire at the base of a decommissioned tanker. 

Group Manager Mark Eaglestone said: "Crews are currently dealing with a small fire which is at the base of a decommissioned tanker. The tanker was in the process of being demolished and the hot works have caused a small fire at the base of the tanker.

"The tanker did used to hold kerosene so there are small pockets of the product remaining. We have now downgraded the incident to four fire engines and firefighters will remain on scene to extinguish and monitor hotspots."

No one has been injured.
