Fire crews are tackling a blaze that has broken out at a log store and diesel tank In Hartley.
The area has been alight in the Church Road area, with three fire engines on the scene.
Crews are using a hose reel and a cold cut firefighting system.
The cold cut firefighting system is a super-high-pressured water system, which can cut through materials to extinguish fires.
The equipment infuses water with tiny pieces of gravel and shoots it through a lance in a high-powered spray that can cut through plastic, wood, metal and even concrete to gain entry to a fire and can be used in nearly any type of incident.
By 7.38pm crews had put out the fire and were damping down the area.
