Be careful disposing of flares, seafarers warned

Firefighters have been called to the plant in recent weeks due to the incorrect disposal of marine distress flares, including last week when a fire broke out in the refuge tipping bunker at the energy-from-waste plant.

Now, staff at the plant are reminding boat users that out-of-date flares can be extremely dangerous and can cause serious fires if they are not disposed of properly.

For the disposal of commercial quantities of flares, bomb disposal officer Stuart Elliott can be contacted on 07797 657977.
