I have just got back from that fire I was there about 15 minutes after the original call which was at 0413 arrived at about 0430)Sockburn and Harewood were the first to be dispatched. As soon as they got there it was instant 4th alarm. They suspect it was an electical fault in the Secondary processing room and rapidly spread through the buliding. I left at about 0620 and they still had crews working hard to extinguish the fire.There was concern about a Co2 tank located about 50mtrs away from the fire and also the chemical plant located in the building. When I was there there was about 5 or so biggish explosions which we found out to be LPG tanks.
