"Yesterday morning 461, 462 and 463 (Hereford) were mobilised to a confirmed fire at a factory in the Holmer area of Hereford.

Supported by crews from Ross, Leominster, Ledbury, Worcester and Evesham.

On arrival crews located thick smoke issuing from the building and immediately requested further resources.

Initially 4 x Breathing Apparatus (BA) wearers were deployed with 2 x hose reel jets, main jets, CO2 extinguishers and thermal imaging cameras to locate the fire and attempt to extinguish it.

Throughout the incident a total of 16 x BA wearers were deployed to successfully extinguish the fire involving an electricity sub station and part of the warehouse, measuring 120m x 90m.

Once the fire was extinguished crews then ventilated the factory and exposed further hot spots.

Thankfully all persons were accounted for"
