Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters attended a fire at a scrapyard on Manor Road in Erith.
Firefighters safely extinguished a fire involving scrap metal. Firefighters implemented a water relay system as part of firefighting operations. The appliances were stationed between the incident site and the nearest water hydrant, and then connected together by hose. This allowed crews to pump a constant supply of water to the scene of the fire.
There were no reports of any injuries.
The Brigade was called at 2008 and Control Officers mobilised crews from Erith, Bexley and Plumstead fire stations to the scene. A 32-metre turntable ladder from Greenwich Fire Station also attended and was used as an observation tower to provide the Incident Commander with a greater situational awareness of the fire.
The fire was extinguished by 2303.
The cause of the fire has been recorded as undetermined.
