On 26th April, a fire broke out in an Industrial Unit in River Way, Harlow.

Firefighters were called to a fire in an industrial building on River Way, Harlow at 5:22am.

On arrival, Essex fire crews confirmed that a factory measuring 50m x 50m was 95% alight and 100% smoke-logged. Access to the building is extremely limited and crews from Essex and Hertfordshire are working hard in difficult conditions to tackle the fire as quickly as possible.

There was a large plume of smoke over Harlow Town and residents were told to keep windows and doors closed.

At 11.00am, the fire was under control and, thanks to the hard work of crews, has been contained to one building.

Around 60 of our firefighters are at the scene, including colleagues from Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.

At 1.30pm, Fire crews were making steady progress to extinguish the fire using an Aerial Ladder Platform (ALP) from above as well as from the ground.

At 4.30pm, having been at the scene for nearly 36 hours, they left the site and handed over to security staff at the site. A fire investigation had been carried out, and had concluded that the fire started accidentally.
