Emergency services rushed to a Tesco warehouse on Friday evening after two lorries burst into flames.

 

 

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) descended on the building within Deans Industrial Estate, on Carnegie Road in Livingston, shortly before 10pm last night.

Crews were initially called to reports of a trailer fire but when they arrived on scene, fire fighters reported two lorries on fire and said the inferno had spread to the building.

Backup was called as six other appliances rushed to battle the blaze and evacuated the warehouse.

Photographs from the scene show the raging flames as both vehicles are devoured by the fire.

Fire fighters can be seen standing at the side of one lorry using a hose in a bid to douse the leaping flames.

There were no reported injuries and emergency services left the scene around 1.45am.

A spokesperson stated: “We received a call at 9.57pm to reports of a trailer on fire at a warehouse in Deans Industrial Estate, on Carnegie Road, Livingston.

“Crews attended the scene and requested six appliances in total as the building was now affected.

“Crews from Bathgate, Livingston, Broxburn, Whitburn, Sighthill and Bo’ness attended. Crews were at work with three lines of hose and one high pressure hose reel jet as well as breathing apparatus.

“Two lorries were alight within the building and there were no reported casualties. We received the stop message at 1.45am.”

A spokesperson for Tesco said: “Our Livingston Distribution Centre is operating as normal. It was briefly evacuated after a HGV caught fire.”
