Just out of interest, does foam not work on such fires?
It does but to a very limited extent, ordinary foam is used as a blanket to exclude oxygen and requires that the oxygen depletion smothers the fire, however, with tyre stacks and other flammable open storage there is enough air, containing oxygen to allow combustion under the foam blanket to continue. The hot air rising from the fire and general wind and weather also displace the foam blanket.
lol, its still smoking, and I got an email from the BBC asking for my phone number to explain why they could not use my pics for a tecnical reason.... ???
