100 firefighters tackle Northamptonshire blaze
Around 100 firefighters have taken 3 days to extinguish a huge fire at The Think Environment processing plant in Northamptonshire which broke out on 25th September at Blackbridge Farm, Burton Latimer.
Nearby roads were closed for several days to enable the crews to lay a long water pump.
Iain Bomberg, commercial director of Think Environment, said: “We deeply regret the fire, but we have been working our hardest with the emergency authorities to resolve the situation. We hope to get in there imminently to start the clean-up operation and replace any damaged equipment to get back up and running as soon as possible.”
An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out but it is not being treated as suspicious.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that you: ‘must make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to which relevant persons are exposed’
This means that all companies as a first point in their Fire Safety must complete a Fire Risk Assessment. This must be carried out by a competent person, who is trained to perform risk assessments. Your Fire Training needs, your fire extinguisher needs and any other fire safety related issues you will need to address will be highlighted from the Fire Risk Assessment.
Our team of experienced and qualified Fire Risk Assessors will perform a full Fire Risk Assessment of your premises, and provide you with a comprehensive document detailing the risks found and recommendations to minimise the risks.
