At 9:57 on Thursday, August 8th, 2024, fire crews responded to a fire at the Sackers Recycling Centre in Great Blakenham near Ipswich, Suffolk. 23 appliances attended along with 85 firefighters to tackle the blaze which took several hours to get under control. An adjacent train line to the recycling centre was closed with train services suspended through the area. Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service recommended local residents and businesses to keep doors and windows closed as a result of the large plume of smoke. The cause has not yet been given.
At the beginning of the video we see Volvo FL pumping appliances responding to the fire. These were joined by Water Carriers to transport larger volumes of water, Aerial appliances to tackle the fire from above, and other specialist units. Suffolk Police provided road closures, while East of England Ambulance Service were on standby with their Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) in case of injuries - which there were none reported. Essex Fire and Rescue Service also sent appliances to assist. The British Transport Police attended with Network Rail.
According to the Suffolk Council website, fire appliances were mobilised from the following fire stations: 2 from Colchester, 1 from Halstead, 9 from Ipswich East, 3 from Princes Street, 1 from Framlingham, 2 from Felixstowe, 1 from Aldeburgh, 2 from Leiston, 1 from Wrentham, 1 from Southwold, 1 from Halesworth, 2 from Beccles, 1 from Stradbroke, 1 from Debenham, 1 from Needham Market, 1 from Stowmarket, 2 from Hadleigh, 1 from Nayland, 1 from Sudbury, 1 from Long Melford, 1 from Clare, 2 from Haverhill, 1 from Wickhambrook, 3 from Bury St Edmunds, 1 from Elmswell, 2 from Ixworth, 1 from Brandon, 1 from Mildenhall, 2 from Newmarket

I know you posted a survey, but I can't find it anymore, so my vote is "yes" for the narration; it gives so much more context to what we're watching! 10:19 - Amazon drivers, gettin' it done!

In the US, we call them tankers. They are larger-11000 litres vs your 8000 l.

Interesting you went to Suffolk to see the F-22's and a recycling plant just "happened" to catch fire whilst you were there...

Very, very interesting seeing NARU's HART (a national level asset) being deployed to this incident as well as the EEAST HART (the regional ambulance trust's asset). Any reason as to both attending? Good vid.

Love the commentary approach. Also, why do they need the water carrier unit if they have hoses plumbed into hydrants?
