Royal Mail update after Station Approach car park fire, Hereford

Emergency services were on scene earlier today after the fire took hold in a number of vehicles in the sorting office car park.

Two crews from Hereford Fire Station were called to the scene after the blaze broke out shortly after 7am this morning (October 2).

A spokesperson said the fire had been reported to involve two small vehicles, but that on arrival firefighters found four vans were "well alight" at the sorting office, next to Hereford's Morrisons supermarket.

The fire was tackled using hosereel jets and a covering jet, the spokesperson said, with the vehicles then inspected using a thermal imaging camera.

Royal Mail has now confirmed that the fire in the site car park was "some distance" from the delivery office and that there has been "no effect on today's operations".

The fire service has since left the scene.

A cause for the fire has not yet been confirmed.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
