FIREFIGHTERS rushed to a fire at a furniture factory.

Two crews attended the fire at the business in Margaretting Road, Chelmsford today at 11.59am.

When fire crews arrived they reported that the external dust extractor fan was completely on fire.

The fire was extinguished at 1pm.

However there was hot spots inside the internal ducting system, so crews had to cut some of it away in order to fully extinguish these hidden hot spots.

Firefighters managed to completely extinguish all hot spots by 2:40pm.
