Skip fire at Deighton Centre

Firefighters from Rastrick attended a fire at the Deighton Centre in Deighton last night.

They said they were called to the scene after reports of a fire in a skip at 10.30pm and sent one appliance.

There was a gala on site over the weekend and the skipp was full so it took all the water in the appliance, plus a second tank after a refill, to extinguish the blaze.

In total firefighters were on the scene for around an hour and a half.

Huddersfield firefighter on state of the Golcar fire

Huddersfield watch commander Matthew Green said:

We were out at Scapegoat Hill again this morning from 5am to carry out further damping down. We came away at 11am and we’re going to revisit it this afternoon. It’s a bit of a fingers crossed moment hoping it will stay out but grass being grass, you can never be sure.

A warning regarding the tinder-like conditions at the moment - people need to be very careful whether it’s a barbecue in the back garden or out on the moorlands, the slightest spark can go off and people’s houses and sheds can be at risk.
