The London Fire Brigade confirmed the fire broke out at around 10am on September 16, affecting a corkscrew conveyor belt at a processing facility. They noted that the corkscrew's location is challenging to access, which is complicating firefighting efforts and has resulted in a prolonged response time as crews work to reduce the heat and contain the fire safely.
Despite the ongoing efforts, the fire is expected to continue into its third day, with crews remaining on-site to manage the situation. A significant 500m safety cordon has been established to secure the area, resulting in closures of a section of the A2016 and affecting local businesses, indicating the fire's impact on the community.
