Transcript

00:00This afternoon we've had a multi-agency tactical coordinating group meeting and all of the

00:05partner agencies have agreed that we are no longer in the major incident status. We have

00:11made some significant progress, all of the emergency services and our partner agencies

00:17have been working extremely hard to help resolve this incident. I will say that it's still

00:24ongoing, the roads are going to remain closed overnight and into the weekend and we'll

00:29have a presence on scene all over the weekend as well. So I just wanted to say to people that

00:35whilst we are making good progress the fire is still burning so the messages that we said earlier

00:40about keeping doors and windows shut still remains. Please do avoid the area and again thank you to

00:47all of the local residents and the businesses for their support and their patience while we've been

00:52dealing with this very difficult incident.
