| Thursday, 12 December, 2002, 09:36 GMT Fire breaks out at warehouse ![]() Crews from five stations helped fight the fire An inquiry has begun into the cause of a large fire which broke out in a Cambridgeshire warehouse overnight. At its height, 70 firefighters from across the county tackled the fire in Tosely Road in Graveley, near St Neots. They worked until the early hours of the morning to put out the fire, which began at about 2330 GMT. Divisional Fire Officer John Barlow said it had been a difficult job. Crews withdrawn He said: "It seemed to have been located near to a diesel tank containing about 500 gallons of diesel, which fuelled the initial fire and spread into the warehouse. "During firefighters' operations part of the palletting system collapsed. "We had to withdraw crews at one point." Crews from Papworth, St Neots, Huntingdon, Ely and Cambridge were called to help extinguish the flames. Investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing. | See also: 15 Nov 02 | England 13 Nov 02 | England 04 Sep 01 | UK Internet links: The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites Top England stories now: Links to more England stories are at the foot of the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
