Poultry Processing Plant Fire Reported in England

Fire erupted at a poultry processing plant Thursday morning in eastern England.

At about 7:37 a.m., fire crews from Attleborough, Hingham and Wymondham, along with the aerial ladder from Earlham and a water carrier from Hethersett, responded to a building fire at Banham Poultry in Attleborough, the Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service Facebook page states.

All personnel at the plant were evacuated safely. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and using hose reel jets managed to extinguish the blaze in less than 90 minutes.

No injuries were reported. A NFRS spokesperson attributed the blaze to a machinery fire inside the plant.
