FIREFIGHTERS tackled a trailer blaze at a distribution park at Severn Beach last night.

Crews from Avonmouth, Patchway, Bedminster and Kingswood were called to the incident, which involved a trailer thought to be carrying a number of items, including furniture and paint, at 8.14pm.

Firefighters in breathing apparatus used hose reels, jets and foam to extinguish the flames.

Crews remained on site until the early hours, dampening down hot spots.
