- Multiple fire engines and specialist appliances attend a large fire at a recycling centre near Ipswich in Suffolk, UK. Ambulance, police, rail service and utility crews also assisted.
At 9:57 on Thursday, August 8th, 2024, fire crews responded to a fire at the Sackers Recycling Centre in Great Blakenham near Ipswich, Suffolk. 23 appliances attended along with 85 firefighters to tackle the blaze which took several hours to get under control. An adjacent train line to the recycling centre was closed with train services suspended through the area. Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service recommended local residents and businesses to keep doors and windows closed as a result of the large plume of smoke. The cause was most likely an incorrectly discarded battery. Read more: www.suffolk.go...
At the beginning of the video we see Volvo FL pumping appliances responding to the fire. These were joined by Water Carriers to transport larger volumes of water, Aerial appliances to tackle the fire from above, and other specialist units. Suffolk Police provided road closures, while East of England Ambulance Service were on standby with their Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) in case of injuries - which there were none reported. Essex Fire and Rescue Service also sent appliances to assist. The British Transport Police attended with Network Rail.
According to the Suffolk Council website, fire appliances were mobilised from the following fire stations: 2 from Colchester, 1 from Halstead, 9 from Ipswich East, 3 from Princes Street, 1 from Framlingham, 2 from Felixstowe, 1 from Aldeburgh, 2 from Leiston, 1 from Wrentham, 1 from Southwold, 1 from Halesworth, 2 from Beccles, 1 from Stradbroke, 1 from Debenham, 1 from Needham Market, 1 from Stowmarket, 2 from Hadleigh, 1 from Nayland, 1 from Sudbury, 1 from Long Melford, 1 from Clare, 2 from Haverhill, 1 from Wickhambrook, 3 from Bury St Edmunds, 1 from Elmswell, 2 from Ixworth, 1 from Brandon, 1 from Mildenhall, 2 from Newmarket

I know you posted a survey, but I can't find it anymore, so my vote is "yes" for the narration; it gives so much more context to what we're watching!
10:19 - Amazon drivers, gettin' it done!
Thanks for the feedback! I figured it just makes it so much easier to understand what is going on.
A fiat ambulance on the back of a recovery truck? What a surprise 😂
Good to hear your voice Cobra... Right On Man... Awesome coverage!!!
Much appreciated!
Excellent insight - vloggers often put IDs of appliances in the description, but your commentary takes that to another level. Subscribed!
love the new narration for these types of videos. Always difficult to find discussions for different deployment models and the operational philosophy for fire depts across Europe.
Yeah, I'm enjoying it also! I've picked up a lot in 10 years of fire truck spotting/buffing in the UK, Europe and America. So figured it's worth sharing along the way.
He was working that lp like a boss .good work
Love the commentary approach. Also, why do they need the water carrier unit if they have hoses plumbed into hydrants?
Cheers! There's only so much water they can get through a hydrant in a period of time, and all the nearest ones are often occupied at a fire scene like this. So they setup a 'pool' (known as a 'dam') to dump additional water into, for additional fire engines to pump from. Of course some areas may also lack a water supply or have damaged hydrants.
Great coverage. How do you always knew where to go for coverage?
Great filming and yes also to narration helps us understand what's going on etc
Good video and commentary. Seems to be a thing these recycling centres burning down. All the best.
Great video 📹 👍 👏 to watch and brilliant commentary
Thank you 😊
Nice to see Trumpton still doing what they do best.
Saw the smoke from a Chambers bus when I was going through Long Melford to go to sudbury
Never seen the National Ambulance Resilience Unit before. Interesting resource
@@iangraham871 used to be known as the HART team
@@Dandeano Still is. Most regional ambulance trusts still have their own HART, as far as I am aware. Is the NARU a nationwide back-up for these to provide extra resources when needed, i wonder?
Very, very interesting seeing NARU's HART (a national level asset) being deployed to this incident as well as the EEAST HART (the regional ambulance trust's asset). Any reason as to both attending? Good vid.
Naru can provide extra manpower, equipment, supplies and resources to partially free up the regional teams at large incidents allowing multiple responses to different incidents
I believe NARU also lend trusts their HART vehicles in the event of breakdowns etc. So the NARU branded truck may just be a temporary vehicle whilst an EEAST HART sprinter is being fixed etc
I was thinking along these lines of it being a borrowed vehicle.
Whilst this is a NARU vehicle (national asset) it’s currently with EEAST HART so that will be the EEAST HART team on that vehy
The finest form of recycling init.
Great having commentary
Great video and narration mate, liked and shared
Absolutely amazing content 👏
Keep it up 👍
Thank you! Will do!
Very nice catches! Wonder why NARU went 🤔
In the US, we call them tankers. They are larger-11000 litres vs your 8000 l.
That's right! But let's remember that European cities are often tighter than a American city, therefore, the less water it can carry allows it to be a bit more small, and so on, more manouverable.
What a brilliant vid
Not sure why they using water tankers for this incident......why not set up a water relay using a HVP from the nearby river gipping , the rail line was closed down anyway so no issues there 🤔
Thank you for your valuable insight. You probably aren’t aware that the Fire Brigade’s Incident Commander did try to get hold of you for advice, but apparently, you were busy taking a shit at the time!
@@heli-crewhgs5285 they couldn't afford me nowadays , never mind my time , but as someone who has sufficient experience in this field of work , I suspect , I still have more experience than you might dare to imagine , but thanks for your consideration Regards my valuable insight xx sweet dreams 😘
Suffolk is one of only a few brigades that don't have an HVP. Suffolk has 2 or 3 water carriers within its fleet. HVPs can take up to 1 hour to set up. The water carriers would of been easier and quicker to use.
@@georgedawson7895 thanks for that information, I didn't know they don't have any HVPs , as I'm ex West Yorkshire, but now live down here
At 9:17 a small boy makes his getaway on his scooter from the crime scene 🤔
1:23 Great Blakham?
Yup
@@CobraEmergency Blakenham rather than Blakham
@@ontherailsuk Yeah, close 'nuff 😂
@@CobraEmergency Fair play 🤣🤣
Good video
Great coverage mate!
Cheers!
Great video mate
Interesting you went to Suffolk to see the F-22's and a recycling plant just "happened" to catch fire whilst you were there...
are you implying he set the fire himself?
The heavy rescue appliance I suspect is the one from Colchester
The Heavy Rescue Pump is indeed from Colchester. Callsign 10P3.
@georgedawson7895 thanks for confirmation. Was 99% sure it was but didn't want to say and look silly!!!
McCreedy and Steven’s responded swiftly here from station, top guys 👍🏻
Ambulance on the back of a recovery truck not a good look
Not unusual for the fiat's
Be interesting to know weather sackers has the license to recycle EV batteries just saying
