The Fire service were called at around 10:40 pm (19/06/2015) to reports of a fire on Leeds Road initially thinking that the building of a company called Flexiform was involved, along with tyres in an open yard. during the initial stages water supplies appeared to be an issue with shortage of pressure from Hydrants around the site.

Water was brought in from some distance as crews used Both hand held jets along with Ground monitors. The aerial appliance from Leeds was required to protect the surrounding properties using a jet from an unmanned cage.
Motor vehicles parked near to the fire were removed to prevent further damage to them and extra risk to the firefighters. There was easy access to the site which were once Tram sheds owned by Bradford City Transport (That was). The site is also used for car parking, a hand car wash along with the tyre companies of Zee Tyres and Jacks Tyres.
There were some goods vehicles involved, situated well into the compound and have been destroyed.
The company Flexiform have been affected by water damage and a special crew from Mirfield fire station were brought in to deal with salvage work as water run off had entered their building, indicating the substantial amount of water that had been used to stop the fire.
Fire crews had to move the unaffected tyres by hand to prevent further fire spread. This was time consuming and very demanding work for the crews
Crowds gathered to watch as Police closed Leeds Rd. to allow firefighters park there appliances as required.
Both the environmental agency and council visited the site with damping down continuing today.
Residents have been allowed to return to there homes. A local resident, living only yards from the fire and one of those evcuated last night has fought to have the dump removed for some time. This is a link to her Twitter account https://twitter.com/JoolzDenby Here she thanks the work of the Fire service for saving her home where she has lived for 30 years.
Investigations into the fire will be undertaken to establish the cause of the fire.
