CHESHIRE Fire has told the Guardian an investigation will take place after crews spent all night tackling a fire at Mitras Automotive UK Limited on Road One in Winsford.

Chershire Fire received a call at 8.06pm on Tuesday to say a paint shop containing paint and thinners was 'well alight'.

Eight fire engines, an aerial appliance and a foam unit were sent to the incident and a full evacuation of the site took place.

Two main covering jets and one foam jet were used to extinguish the fire, with two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus leading the battle to dampen down the flames.

Gas and electricity were also isolated.

Fire crews were at the scene of this fire overnight and several replacements of crews were required.

Firefighters removed ducting to inspect the area with thermal imaging cameras and damped down hot spots throughout the night. 

An investigation into the cause of this fire will take place.
