Fire At Wrexham Feed Mill

Firefighters took around three hours to tackle a blaze at a Wrexham animal feed factory - thought to have started after feed in the building became overheated.

Four fire engines and an aerial ladder platform were called to the scene of the blaze at Lloyds Animal Feeds on Wrexham Industrial Estate at around 8.15pm yesterday.

A spokeswoman for North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze started in the factory production area of the four storey building.

"It involved a quantity of animal feed - thought to be turkey food pellets - which overheated in the dryer," she said.

"There was 70 per cent smoke damage to the production area and pellets destroyed. There was also 10 per cent severe smoke damage and 20 per cent moderate heat damage to the area."
