OVER THE BORDER ~ 13

On 9th September 2025 there was a 15 pump fire in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, close to the Lancashire boundary, involving Biomass. At the height of the incident there were 7 pumping appliances from Lancashire, 5 from West Yorkshire and 3 from Greater Manchester. Additionally 2 ALPs were in use from Hyndburn & Blackpool, plus 3 High Volume Pumps from Greater Manchester and Lancashire. I was invited to visit the area to photograph some of the appliances in attendance. I photographed a number of West Yorkshire appliances, but on this page I have just included appliances from Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
Apologies that the quality of some of the pictures is sub-standard, but the light was failing very fast.
