There's been reports of a fire at a privately held railway carriage, my brother saw them going, but oddly enough saw no smoke and several unmarked police cars. For some reason he thinks that the story in the local rag 'The Visitor' doesn't match up with what he saw: The Visitor Article
Would four breathing apparatus and multiple fire engines be required for a single carriage, given that one fire engine can often do a house?
Please note, this is more a fact finding mission and should not be seen as an attempt to speculate.
On arrival at the scene in Jesson Way just after 8.30am firefighters found the fire involved a detached train carriage on private land.
They used four breathing apparatus, two hose reels and a ventilation unit to extinguish the fire. Crews are currently still on scene but the number of fire engines has been reduced to two, whilst crews dampen down any remaining hot spots.
