High winds fan factory fire

A TEAM of 40 firefighters battled to put out a huge fire at an industrial unit in Kiveton Park today.

Eight fire engines from Rotherham, Maltby and other stations were called out at around 2.30am to the former Unbrako steel premises on Manor Road.

A fire which started outside the building is believed to have been spread inside by high winds.

Fire crews reported a danger of asbestos being present at the unit and people living nearby were warned to keep doors and windows closed as a precaution.

The Fire Brigade reported just before lunchtime that the fire was now out.
