During the course of the incident the firefighters used:

• Four sets of breathing apparatus
• One turntable ladder which was used as a water tower
• One light portable pump
• Four main jets
• Two hose reels

A reduced number of firefighters and crews are expected to remain on the site over the course of the day.

The smoke plume from this incident has reduced and is dissipating. Officers at the scene have said that while unpleasant, the smoke itself poses no significant health risk, however residents in affected areas remain advised to keep windows and doors closed until the smoke has fully cleared, to prevent it entering and lingering within their home.
