Leys Road, Brierley Hill, UK
Shortly before 1.10am on Tuesday (6 August), we responded to Leys Road, Brierley Hill.
Eight fire engines and a hydraulic aerial platform initially responded, crewed by around 45 firefighters.
This was a fire in a single-storey factory unit. Approximately 10% of the building was affected by fire and smoke.
Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used three jets to extinguish the fire, which started accidentally. There were no casualties or injuries.
Leys Road was closed while we worked at the scene, but has since re-opened.
Crews damped down hotspots and left the scene at 9.55am.
We will return to the incident later to conduct further temperature checks.
