Large Fires Burn at Bark Suppliers, Landscaping Yards in Buckinghamshire, Norfolk, Quesnel

Several significant fires have recently occurred at various business and industrial sites, prompting extensive firefighting efforts. In Quesnel, a fire broke out at a log yard near Highway 97 North, leading to an open air fire alert early on August 23. Meanwhile, in Milton Keynes, firefighters battled a blaze at Turney Landscapes, where both the office and yard were affected; the cause remains under investigation, and the business expects a prolonged recovery period. Norfolk experienced a persistent fire at the TMA Bark site in Weston Longville, with crews working continuously since August 20 to control the deep-seated blaze in wood and mulch piles, causing ongoing smoke problems and road closures. Fire services have deployed multiple resources, including water carriers, aerial ladder platforms, and specialized units, and have advised nearby residents to keep windows and doors shut due to smoke. In all cases, the exact causes of the fires have yet to be determined, and firefighting teams anticipate extended operations to fully extinguish the flames.
