When crews arrived they found a coal stacking machine on fire.
This equipment is used to skim the coal from a heap and put it on
to a conveyor belt.
Firefighters used two high pressure hose reels and a jet to put
the fire out. It caused a substanstial amount of damage to the
machinery.
No one was hurt and crews were on the scene for around an
hour.
The cause is thought to be
accidental.
