Two firefighters injured tackling north London warehouse blaze

摘要

Two firefighters have been injured trying to tackle a fire at a warehouse in Edmonton, north London. The fire took 60 firefighters 36 hours to put out and ensure that the fire did not spread to adjoining buildings. After the blaze the warehouse was damaged beyond repair and was subsequently demolished. The fire started at 7:43am on 10 July at a warehouse in Edmonton. At the height of the blaze a total of 12 fire engines, two aerial units and 60 firefighters were on the scene. The one-storey warehouse was part of the Eley Trading Estate and was 75m × 40m in size. It had been used to store stock including toys, umbrellas and plastic bags, which were all destroyed. The warehouse was made out of concrete which meant that it was difficult for the firefighters to gain access. The fire was put out the following Saturday, although there were still four fire engines at the site on the Monday. The firefighters were not seriously injured.
