Firefighters tackle blaze at Kimberly-Clark Barrow facility

BARROW, England (From The Evening Mail) -- Two fire engines were dispatched to a Kimberly-Clark facility at around 8 p.m. Wednesday night after a fire broke out in a machine used to cut the large paper rolls into smaller, toilet rolls.

The fire, which was brought under control thanks to the quick actions of the crews, was extinguished using a hose reel jet, two breathing apparatus and a thermal imaging camera. The two crews returned to their bases after an hour.

No one was injured during the fire although it is understood the machine is likely to need extensive repairs.
