Watch: Fire crews remain on scene of Wolverhampton industrial site blaze
Fire crews remain at the scene of a fire that broke out in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Emergency services responded to a fire at the Webnor Industrial Estate on Ettingshall Road at around 2am on Tuesday (May 20).
The blaze involved a sheet metal fabrication premises at the Parkfield Road end of the street, with the unit backing onto the railway line.
Around 10 firefighters from Brierley Hill and Walsall remained on the scene as of 9am this morning dampening down the area.
At its height there were five crews from West Midlands Fire Service and 40 fire personnel at the scene.
It is thought that the business owner attended along with emergency services at around 2am.
Footage shows the sodden unit in a state of ruin with paint splattered across the floor and metal parts piled up around the edges of the yard.
The fire is believed to have started accidentally and damaged around 40 per cent of the building.
A West Midlands Fire Service spokesperson said: "The fire is believed to have started, accidentally, in a mezzanine area. Around 40 per cent of that structure was damaged. The fire also broke through part of the roof. After bringing the fire under control, crews spent several hours damping down and checking for hotspots.
"Colleagues from the police, Network Rail, Environment Agency, local authority and utility companies were also in attendance or informed, due to the proximity of a railway line and other operational considerations."
