00:00I'm Jim Clark, I'm the incident commander here at this incident in Southampton.

00:04All of our resources were mobilized at 5 o'clock this morning to what was a significant fire in this industrial estate.

00:11The scene of the fire was a number of vehicles at the rear of the industrial estate just behind me here.

00:17Unfortunately, it did spread to a number of surrounding properties,

00:21but with the help of all of our crews that are here on scene, our emergency partners and our local authority partners,

00:28we've managed to contain it to a relatively small location, bearing in mind what could have happened.

00:33We're now focusing and concentrating on minimizing the impact to the local community,

00:38making sure all the businesses involved in that industrial estate still continue to operate.
