Seventeen 25-litre drums of unknown liquid dumped

One appliance and crew from Amersham, one from High Wycombe and two officers attended. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus and gauntlets set up a cordon, checked and sealed the drums and stood them upright. A number of car parts were also dumped. The incident was left with Thames Valley Police.

Make sure your waste carrier is legal! If a tradesperson fly-tips your rubbish you could face a court appearance and a fine.

This tied up two of our fire engines and crews for more than an hour.

Fly-tipping poses a threat to people and wildlife, damages our environment, spoils our enjoyment of the great outdoors and is very costly to investigate and clear up. Find out more here:
