Belfast Scrap Fire: Battery Blame | Belfast News
Description
A massive fire at Belfast Harbour engulfed 4,500 tons of scrap metal—mostly old cars—taking firefighters two full days to bring it under control. Over fifty responders battled through nights and used heavy machinery and torrents of water to extinguish the blaze, which may have been sparked by a lithium-ion battery. This isn’t the first major fire at the site; repeated incidents are prompting calls for stricter battery disposal rules and health safety reviews for nearby residents. Fire crews commend the public’s patience and thank everyone for their support during the intense operation.
