“Crews extinguished and damped down, by applying approximately 10000 litres of water. Crews used a hose reel jet, a length of 45mm hose with connecting branch, a thermal imaging camera and a light portable pump to deal with the incident,” said a spokesperson for the force.
The cause is believed to be accidental.
