Smouldering rubbish dumped on Sandringham Rd, Kingsland, after truck fire
A Fire and Emergency shift manager said they were called to Sandringham Rd, Kingsland, just before 5.30am.
He said one truck and crew were sent to the scene, and they left just after 6am.
Photos from the scene show a large pile of rubbish dumped off to the side of the road along the outside of Eden Park.
He also said incidents like this “were not very common” and it is unknown at this stage what caught fire inside the truck.
The manager said the driver followed “standard procedure” by dumping the load on to the roadside.

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.

I’m often promised and sometimes new
