Down End Road, Fareham, United Kingdom
On Sunday morning, firefighters were called after smoke began issuing from a recycling site on Down End Road in Fareham.
Crews from Fareham, Portchester and Cosham, along with a water carrier and the Environmental Protection Unit from Alton, were mobilised shortly before 11am and reported smoke drifting across the M27.
The on-site sprinkler system had operated and kept the fire under control.
Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to identify the location of the fire and dampened down any hotspots.
Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters used hose reels and jets to extinguish the fire before using ventilation fans to clear smoke.
The incident was handed over to the site’s management before crews left the scene at 13:48.
