A worker at a nearby depot, who did not want to be named, said: \u201cEveryone in the factory started saying they could smell smoke and asking what it was.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen some drivers who had been past came in and said there was a fire. A load of us came out and you could see the flames above the roof of the KLN building. Even stood on the ground. It was going on a for a long, long time. A good few hours.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have never seen a fire like it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe heard everyone was getting evacuated on that side. A company we work with, they got evacuated about half two, quarter to three, because it was just spreading.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flames were so high. We didn\u2019t know what was going to happen. We have a site full of diesel tanks. It could just go \u2018bang\u2019 at any minute. You were on edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were told we were safe though so just cracked on and did what we were told.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have got customers who haven\u2019t been able to get their vehicles in because the roads are shut off, so that\u2019s work we\u2019ll have to rebook, but that\u2019s a problem for another time. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A worker at a nearby depot, who did not want to be named, said: \u201cEveryone in the factory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[12,8880,1289,46443,16,15],"class_list":["post-915939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-uk","category-united-kingdom","tag-news","tag-the-trafford-centre","tag-trafford","tag-trafford-park","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116461146309126445","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
