Firefighters up to their knees in river of butter after huge fire at dairy factory

Firefighters tackling a huge blaze at a dairy had to wade through a river of melted butter sometimes up to their knees.

Emergency services were called to the scene at the dairy after smoke and fire were reported billowing from the roof.

The first firefighting teams to arrive were pushed back by the heat and smoke and had to wait until aerial apparatus could be brought in.
