Four fire engines and around 25 firefighters attended a fire at a landfill site on Launders Lane in Rainham.
Approximately 50 metres square of rubbish and wasteland was alight. A 32-metre turntable ladder was deployed to help extinguish the fire from height. A drone was also used to help provide the Incident Commander with a greater situational awareness of the incident.
The Brigade was called at 1218 and Control Officers mobilised crews from Wennington, Barking and colleagues from Essex County Fire and Rescue. The Brigade left the scene shortly after 1500.
