AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS
ASTLEY BRIDGE, BOLTON
18 FEBRUARY 1979

With so many appliances visible on just one side of the incident, it will come as no surprise to learn that this incident required 20 pumps, 2 HPVs, 1 TTL, 1 HLL, 1 ET, 1 ST plus Control Unit, Operational Support Unit and Canteen Van.  This was followed by a 15 pump relief and subsequently two 10 pump reliefs.
