A1(m) at Ferrybridge fire crews responded to an incident involving an HGV and trailer carrying 20 tonnes of baled paper or cardboard. The fire occurred after the vehicle struck the nearside barriers on the southbound carriageway at around 5:35pm, coming to rest on the hard shoulder.

Crews used 2 Large jets with water supplied from a nearby hydrant, 4 pumps attended from Castleford, Pontefract, Normanton and Cleckheaton along with a senior advisor.

The motorway was closed for a time whilst the incident was dealt with causing delays on surrounding routes.

There has been no indication as to there being any casualties at the incident, however the Yorkshire Air Ambulance did attend the scene.

Fire Destroys Goods vehicles

Fire crews were called just after 9:25pm yesterday as smoke was seen billowing from a yard on Sticker Lane in Bradford. This was near to a building and four appliances were sent to the scene, 2 from Bradford, 1 from Idle and 1 from Odsal. Crews investigated and found that 2 Light Goods vehicles were 100% alight within the complex but outside the building.

Crews used 2 Large jets and 4 Breathing apparatus sets and quickly controlled the incident, with smoke visible accross the city. There were slight delays on Sticker Lane as hose lines were taken across the roadway, no closure was required and hose ramps used to keep traffic flowing past the scene.
