Hi Guys, there's a huge fire at "squibbs" on Reeds Lane in Leasowe. Passed it about half hour ago and the police had just closed off the road by the train station as I came through. 3 maybe 4 fire engines in attendance, plumes of black smoke everywhere. Sorry no pics, I was driving.

My mates in the fire service he said it was a fire the size of a builders skip, it was rubbish and waste paper!!

Hopefully it's not done too much damage to the building.

Hopefully it was brought under control fairly quickly, and the building is suffering from smoke damage!!

Thanks for that info Steve
