Crews Battle Scrap Metal Fire At Langar Industrial Estate

Firefighters are continuing to tackle a large fire at Langar Industrial Estate, with crews expected to remain at the scene into the evening.

At the height of the incident, 12 fire engines and a number of specialist appliances were in attendance. The fire involves a significant quantity of scrap metal, with crews working throughout the afternoon in extremely challenging conditions due to high temperatures.

The incident is now under control, and residents are being reassured that crews are making good progress.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is being supported by neighbouring services, including Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service. A High Volume Pump from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service has also been deployed to help supply water to what is a remote and isolated site.

People are asked to continue avoiding the area while crews remain in attendance. Nearby residents should keep windows and doors closed to reduce the impact of smoke.
