In an update at 7.45am on Thursday, the fire service hailed “good progress” in tackling the fire, and said it expected the large overnight response to be scaled down to six fire crews soon. In a further update just prior to 1pm, the fire service announced it was scaling back its response to three fire engines, with crews continuing to battle “small pockets of fire and hotspots”.
