Title: Big fire in Newcastle today
Post by: redelitev6 on 19 May 2011, 20:54:08

We had a HUGE fire in a scrapyard here today, local news said the smoke could be seen from Scotland to the north and Hartlepool to the south ! never seen so much black smoke , 70 firefighters trying to put it out, bought chaos to the local area, must have been scary to the locals .

Never seen metal burn so well. Had a similar but smaller fire round here at a scrappy. Some could be seen from the malvern hills :o
