Prenton Warehouse Blaze Brought Under Control Overnight as Cordon Eases

Firefighters report the main blaze was extinguished by 1.30am following sustained overnight operations.

Overview

  • Merseyside Fire and Rescue reached Parkvale Avenue at 8.41pm with seven engines and an aerial appliance on the North Cheshire Trading Estate.
  • The main body of fire was out by about 1.30am after crews deployed hose reel jets, main branches, a ground monitor and a High Volume Pump.
  • Crews gained interior access to check for hot spots, the incident was scaled down, and three fire engines remain at the scene.
  • Police have reduced the cordon to permit limited access to Prenton Way, while Parkvale Avenue stays closed.
  • The blaze involved a roughly 50m-by-50m warehouse; the cause and the unit’s occupancy are unconfirmed, and residents were earlier urged to keep windows shut and contact NHS 111 if affected by smoke.
