Serious fuel spillage near Forge Lane, West Bromwich
Published on
Today, West Midlands Fire Service is responding to a serious fuel spillage across Birmingham Road and Park Lane, close to the Hilltop Golf Course in West Bromwich, Birmingham.
Four fire engines from West Bromwich, Perry Barr, Hay Mills and Smethwick fire stations initially responded, alongside specialist vehicles and equipment to deal with an incident of this type.
Due to the strong smell of petrol in the air, a cordon has been established to allow crews and partners to carry out their work safely. The public in the Sandwell Valley area is urged to refrain from barbecues, bonfires and all use of naked flames.
Forge Lane is closed to the public and people are asked to avoid the area.
