Fordingbridge industrial unit fire

A fire broke out in an industrial unit on Green Lane, Fordingbridge shortly before 11 o’clock on Sunday night.

At the height of the incident, nine fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were on scene; with crews from Fordingbridge, Lyndhurst, Ringwood, Romsey working alongside our colleagues at Dorset & Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown and there are no injuries reported.

Road closures were put in place and local residents advised to close windows and doors due to the smoke in the vicinity.

Firefighters worked into the early hours when the incident was scaled back with the fire under control.

The stop message came in at around half five this morning when fire engines began returning to station.

One crew will return later in the day to conduct a reinspection of the scene.
