FIREFIGHTERS tackled an overnight blaze at Rotherwas Industrial Estate.
Four crews attended the 'large' fire which was at the back of an industrial storage unit on Gatehouse Road at around 10.25pm on Sunday.
Three engines from Hereford Fire Station, one fire engine from Fownhope and a water carrier from Ledbury attended.
The fire was extinguished using three hose reel jets, two main jets, a nine-metre ladder and an impact wrench.
Neil Lilwall, station commander for Hereford and Bromyard area, said the fire was rapidly extinguished with assertive offensive tactics.
There was a re-inspection at 2.30am on Monday and crews left shortly after. The incident closed at 6.50am.
