The appliance facing the camera was MV53EXM from Chadderton with the other being PN08UXJ from Heywood.
BE PREPARED! It is very
rare that I venture anywhere without my camera. On this occasion
I left my camera at home as I had a time-critical appointment.
As I was arriving, I could see a very large column of smoke in the Rochdale
direction and within 5 minutes was contacted to take the SACU.
Unfortunately I was not available to respond with the van, but managed
to attend the scene for about 10 minutes, before returning to conclude
my appointment.
I am, therefore, extremely grateful
to Roy Cunningham, who very kindly provided me with a camera to use, and
also to Paul Gilbert who has very kindly supplied a couple of pictures
from the 'other side' of the fire.
Sadly, one employee lost his life
in this incident, and our deepest sympathies go to his family and colleagues.
R.I.P.
