Close-up snaps show the devastation the fire left in its wake
Firefighters have spent hours tackling a huge blaze that tore through an industrial estate early this morning and caused a plume of black smoke to fill the sky.
Aerial pictures shared by the Manchester Evening News show smoke pouring from buildings. Close-up snaps posted online by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service show the devastation the fire left in its wake, with walls reduced to rubble and metal roof sheets scattered on the ground. “Firefighters have made good progress extinguishing the fire and remain at the scene. Hulme Hall Lane remains closed between Oldham Road and Bradford Road. People are asked to avoid the area where possible.”
Just before 10am today, the fire service added: “Crews are still at the scene in North Manchester but are now scaling down. Road closures remain in place so please avoid the area if possible.”
