It has also cancelled the fire fighters car wash event scheduled for today from their latest updates, investigation is taking place into the cause of the fire which is not yet clear or reported, stacked in rows of three there is plenty of damage which will sadly be a great loss for customers and the business involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will effect hundreds if not thousands of transporter deliveries which are regularly collected from storage facilities across the UK and delivered every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n

Crews remain on scene until everything is fully cooled down and safe to be left, no further updates have yet been provided by the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n
