| Firefighters tackled the blaze using aerial ladder platforms |
Around 100 firefighters have tackled a major blaze at a business park in Dorset.
The fire at the Hybris business park in Crossways near Dorchester broke out in the early hours of Saturday morning. Fire crews initially went in using breathing apparatus, hose reel jets and main lines, but were pulled out when an acetylene cylinder was discovered.
Crews then continued to tackle the fire using hose reel jets and main lines from aerial ladder platforms.
The fire was brought under control after around six hours, but firefighters remained on the scene until early Saturday evening.
A 4000 sq ft two-storey unit was completely destroyed in the fire, wiping out a family run business which manufactures and supplies animated displays used in shops and garden centres.
