Demolition and Damping Down continues at Drummond Mill Site.

Six fire appliances are still at the scene of  Drummonds Mill,  Lumb Lane, Bradford. The fire is still smouldering and water is being used to extinguish the fire by way of five Ground monitors which are in use around the building. What still remains of the mill is unsafe for fire crews to enter. 

The public are still advised to keep windows and doors closed, due to the smoke plume in the Canal Road area. of the city. Fire crews are wearing face masks if they are in a smokey area due sheet asbestos having been involved in the fire.

A total of 38 people who lived near the mill were taken to Richard Dunn Sports Centre on Thursday evening where they were given food and drink while Bradford Council arranged for Travelodge Bradford Central to take them in for the night.

Water supplies are being brought in from local hydrants now, at the time of the height of the fire water was brought in from over a long distance away. Ground monitors can be seen in use on the still smouldering wreckage.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service are working alongside demolition crews throughout the weekend. Diggers are on site today at the destroyed Drummond Mill as the smouldering building still cast a pall of smoke over surrounding homes. Firefighters with six appliances along with a Command Unit are there along with a demolition crew from Thomas Crompton.
