Bodycam footage shows how dozens of firefighters spent hours tackling blaze which caused explosions in Wallsend

This is how firefighters bravely tackled a huge blaze which caused a number of explosions in Wallsend.

Firefighters had their work cut out last Thursday (16 June), spending close to five hours trying to extinguish a blaze near Segedunum, when a large rubber shipping buoy set ablaze.

Four units from Byker, Hebburn, South Shields and Wallsend worked tirelessly for four hours and forty minutes to combat the inferno which began in a remote storage location at around 8.45pm - finally leaving after a successful mission at 01:27am on Friday 17 June.
