The fire service have been left with more than £300,000 to pay after 2 fires that involved illegal tyres being stored in Londonderry in 2009.
Nearly 100 firefighters were involved in just one of the operations in October at Campsie. That operation alone cost over £229,000 and it later emerged that those tyres had been stored there illegally.
In August 2009, there was a fire in Pennyburn at a tyre depot and it cost £106,000 to be put out. There were 4 fire pumps ands a foam tender that were used during the operation.
