Ten tonnes of scrap metal destroyed
AROUND ten tonnes of scrap metal were destroyed by fire yesterday during an incident in Chard.
The alarm was raised at just before 1.30pm to a scrap yard in Beeching Close - near to the waste recycling centre - and firefighters got to work on dealing with the blaze.
Three fire engines were called out to the yard which deals with scrapped cars.
A spokesman for the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service said: “The cause of the fire is thought to be accidental.”
