Three fire engines, an Aerial Ladder Platform and Water Carrier was mobilised to a commercial property following reports of smoke issuing, confirming that an evacuation was taking place.

When crews arrived, they confirmed that smoke was issuing from an oil leak on the surface of a vacuum pump.

During their time on-site, crews used:

  • Breathing Apparatus
  • Hose Reel Jets
  • Thermal Image Camera
  • Small Tools

Advice was given to staff on-site before crews returned to their home stations.
