A QUICK-THINKING worker prevented a fire from spreading.
The blaze broke out at Croslee tumble dryer factory in Hipperholme at 4.45pm yesterday.
A member of staff doused the flames with a fire extinguisher.
Brighouse Fire Station watch commander Kevin Ogden said: “When we got there the factory was full of smoke but an employee had managed to put out the fire with a dry-powder extinguisher.
“The fire seems to have been caused by an over-heated bearing.”
Firefighters spent around 30 minutes at the factory, where the White Knight tumble dryer is manufactured.
