Its a scrap yard Ste pretty obvious realy.
I am amazed there are not far more scrapyard fires
oxy accetylene and fuel/oil are not good when they come together
This may or may not have been the cause but as long as no one was hurt the cause is not realy important

Road closed following blaze at Wirral car parts firm




CLEVELAND Street in Birkenhead is closed to traffic following a fire at a car parts firm this afternoon.

Fire crews were called to Neptune Car Spares at around 3pm to reports of a blaze, involving 10 vehicles.


The cause of the blaze is not yet known and there are no reports of any injuries.

Eyewitnesses recalled seeing a huge ball of flame.

Fire crews are still at the scene. A fire service spokesman said investigations into the cause of the blaze will begin once it has been put out.

THE GLOBE

so many round that area there must be a fire starter involved methinks.
Got accosted on Clevey myself, "Looking for business?"
"No thanks." It's gone down hill since I used to live on there.

Its in the wirral news, it was accidental. Sparks which were generated in the cutting up process lit residual fuel remaining in the scrap vehicles. It was spread over 25 cars.
One man suffered burns to his arm.

Was in there today talking to Billy, the owner. As Nicky says, was a spark from cutting out an engine, caught some fuel and flared up. Most of the cars that were torched were crushed waiting to be weighed in and a pile of bumpers etc that caught light. They said that the first fire crew on the scene just ambled into the yard and cleared it, then they couldnt get any water pressure up. Had hoses running down the side streets in the end!

Honest Ossifer, wasnt me i was somewhere else doing something else with someone else....Watertihght that alibi!!! dunno
Posted By: StuyMac Re: Fire at Neptune Car Spares Birkenhead - 31st Mar 2011 9:49pm
Apparently the fire did get quite close to the oxy-acetylene which was being used for the cutting, hence why so much of the area was blocked....
