6-Day Battle: Firefighters Tackle Hathernware Blaze

0:00On April 21st, firefighters have been battling a huge blaze at the Hathenware Industrial Estate in Seton, Bonington, Nottingham Shire for 6. Straight days now. It kicked off last Wednesday at 1048 in the morning, pulling in 13 engines at its peak to tackle the flames off Remstone Road near the Lestershire line. Crews from Nottinghamshire, Derby Shire, and Lestershire are jumped in together, hitting a mix of buildings, temper piles, and trailers that fueled the fire. Locals are still smelling smoke drifting through the air, so the fire service is telling everyone to keep doors and windows shut tight. On the first day, it threw East Midlands Railway services into chaos, since the site sits right by the tracks. Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue says they're still grinding hard to knock it out, with teams expected to stick around the whole day. This one's dragging on, but they're making progress, hats off to the crews keeping it contained.
