A single crew from Hanley extinguished a fire involving a pile of 80 rubber tyres in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday (11 February) night.

At around 11pm, Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Black Horse Lane, Hanley, following reports that a large pile of tyres was well alight outside of an industrial building.

Four firefighters from Hanley were immediately sent to tackle the blaze and managed to bring it under control using two hose reel jets by 12am (Sunday 12 February).

Nobody was injured in the blaze on Saturday night (Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service).

Staffordshire Police also attended to close the road whilst firefighters ensured the area was safe.

Despite heavy amounts of smoke, there was no risk to nearby residents and businesses as a result and no one was injured.

The cause of the fire is unexplained at this time.
