Roberts Dyers and Finishers, Royd Lane, Beechcliffe, Keighley
Building Fire - Proved to be a building approx. 25m x 40m 100% involved in fire with difficult access due to a low 3m high railway bridge . Fire crews had to run out hose from the nearest appliances around 30 lengths away from the fireground.
There were partial collapses of the walls so defensive fire tactics were deployed. Crews used Ground monitors and Large jets to tackle the fire with poor water supplies. The fire lit the night sky and could be seen around the Keighley area.
Appliances from Keighley, Bingley, Shipley, Bradford, Fairweather Green, Odsal, Moortown, Cookridge, Ilkley (Welfare Unit), Spen Valley ( Technical rescue Unit and Support Pump) and Mirfield (Hose Layer and Support pump) CLM vehicles and supporting officers attended.
Crews from Skipton and Harrogate assisted West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service at a large industrial factory fire. They assisted by using hose reel jets to tackle the blaze externally before being released from the incident.
