Tyre Blaze at Yorkshire Landfill Site
A large fire at a West Yorkshire landfill site sent plumes of black smoke several hundred feet high into the sky. Up to 40 fire fighters from Leeds and Castleford were called to tackle the blaze at the Peckfield landfill site in Micklefield, on 28 May. Two JCBs were used to cover the tyres with soil in an attempt to extinguish the blaze. A fire service spokesman said the pile of tyres involved in the blaze measured approximately 250 square metres.
