Major Incident Oakham Fire at Large commercial premises in Pillings Road, Oakham
Nearby residents were asked to keep windows closed as a precaution.
RPC Containers was effected after smoke drifted into their building triggering evacuation
alarms.
Smoke could be seen pouring out of the old mill building said to belong to Rutland County Council Tory Deputy Leader Terry King the building stands next to the railway line. Network Rail Incident units were on the scene.
South Western Power attended to cut the power.
Eight Fire Engines and Five special units attended from a number of counties.
The National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU) also attended.
The National Ambulance Resilience Unit was established in summer 2011 and works with all NHS Ambulance Trusts in England and deal with hazardous or difficult situations, particularly mass casualty incidents that represent a significant risk to public health.
I think this is the first time they have visited Rutland, because even local police officers had
not heard of them.
The Fire Service is expected to remain on the site throughout the night.
