Fire Fight Is Suspended
Updated: 16:44, Monday December 12, 2005

Firefighters battling the fuel depot blaze have been withdrawn amid fears a tank of highly volatile fuel could explode.

Chief Fire Officer Roy Wilshire said: "We have withdrawn our firefighters because the last thing we want is human tragedy."

The fire crews have been spraying foam and water on the blaze since 8am and have succeeded in extinguishing 12 of the 20 tank fires.

However during the operation one of the tanks erupted near another tank which the fire service fears may contain extremely volatile fuel.

Mr Wilshire said: "We are holding back at the moment but still spraying the tank with cooling jets. We intend to go back on the offensive as soon as possible."

The blast near Hemel Hempstead was so powerful it was heard as far away as Holland and the acrid smoke cloud is now heading out over the Channel.

It has been described as the biggest incident of its kind in peacetime Europe.

Flames leapt more than 200ft in the sky and people living nearby had their windows and doors blown out and roofs damaged.

Around 2,000 people living near the site were evacuated - many have yet to return home and hope to soon discover when they can go back.

Medical advisors have warned people to keep windows and doors closed because of the chemicals in the thick plume of smoke.

Doctors said that asthma sufferers and the elderly may be more susceptible to the effects of the black smoke.

The operation to tackle the fire will eventually bring down the temperature of the smoke and the cloud is likely dissipate, with the column of smoke dropping on the area surrounding the depot.
man thats really a big fire
