The cause of this fire is undetermined. Due to the effects of the fire on the building
and lack of evidence no conclusive proof could be found that could reliably identify
cause and origin of fire.
Possible causes could include ignition through faulty or failed electrical wiring in the
western side of the building in or around the bathroom area. Alternatively, ignition
by lithium-ion battery explosion in the area of the workshop on the western wall.
Elimination of Other Possible Causes
Natural fire causes were eliminated as there was no evidence at the point of origin
of chemicals prone to spontaneous reactions or natural weather phenomena
having taken place.

Reporter Comments
The area of origin is considered to be the west side of the building. This is
evidenced by CCTV footage showing the fire ignition, witness statements and
evidence of possible fire ignition methods in this area. Limiting factors to consider
are the demolition and removal of burnt debris during operations covering other
areas of the burnt building that may have removed potential evidence.

The building was destroyed which made the investigation highly challenging. This
was compounded by firefighting activity which resulted in large parts of the building
being removed via a contractor. One area that I ensured was protected was the
west side of the building which had contained the refreshment room Including
bathroom) and workshop areas. Witnesses had stated at the time of the fire
(including the first caller) that fire and smoke was first seen in this building which is
why it was decided between operations and myself that we would leave this area
intact as much as was reasonably practicable.
Externally the area of least damage was the west wall. This is most likely due to
the removal of opposing walls by fire crews as discussed above, however it was
noticeable that damage on this wall was greater toward the middle and southern
end of the west wall. The refreshment room was least damaged, though still almost
destroyed some the cladding on the wall was still standing and framing was
observable. In the middle of the west wall at the separating wall of the bathroom
and workshop the damage was greatest with the framing having burnt away
completely and window frames on the ground, and the cladding having fallen into
the building. It was noticed that this more so on the workshop side of the partition
than the bathroom or refreshment side of the separating wall. In the bathroom was
what appeared to eb the main electrical feed into the building though this could not
be confirmed. These wires were heavily damaged with evidence of potential arcing
It is possible that this may have been melting not arcing and that of it were
electrical arcs they could have occurred due to the fire.
Starting in the workshop at the separation wall the floor and debris was inspected
and removed to clear the concrete floor. Nothing remarkable was observed until
the area that was later proven to be the area of the workshop bench In this area
we found the remains of lithium batteries some of which had moved considerable
distance from where they were thought to be originally located. However, this could
also have been caused not only by the effects of the fire but firefighting operations
also. Most of these batteries were still intact however, two of the battery cells
showed they could have exploded which is a known cause of fire either through
physical damage or overcharging. The make/ manufacturer of these batteries was
not identified prior to the writing of this report.
Just behind where these batteries were located was the remains of a welding unit
and 3 acetylene cylinders that had ruptured at the valve head which would have
contributed to the effects of the fire.
CCTV was forwarded of the building at the time of the fire. It was observed that the
fire was first noticeable in the workshop area, as a large orange light was observed
through workshop windows. This was then followed by dark smoke build up and
later a flash of orange light behind the building likely from the fire expanding
Under the Official Information Act
through the rest of the building. Later the car of the first caller is seen, as
stated,
driving around the building after the fire has ignited.
The weather was cool but calm with a slight wind but no electrical weather activity
was noticed or recorded.
Whilst it is acknowledged this building was used (in part) as a mechanical
workshop there is a likelihood of flammable auto-ignitable chemicals onsite, none
were found in the investigation and witnesses were not aware of any either.
The whole scene was photographed, exterior, interior, and items of interest.

Members of staff were present onsite at the time of the fire and again the following
day. I asked informally what they had observed on arrival at the of the fire and
based on their statements I organised formal interviews with them the following
day. The last staff member onsite stated that
left the site at 5.10pm leaving from
the office/ kitchen door into the garage area and there was no sign of fire of
anything that would cause concern such as unfamiliar smell or sounds. All other
staff members interviewed had not been onsite that day.
In the workshop were some lithium battery powered tools and the batteries were
left in the charger plugged in but not thought to be charging. This couldn’t be
confirmed however and the staff members spoken too weren’t sure if they were
charging or not. They were placed on a workbench against the western wall of the
workshop.
There had been no issues with the building that would give concern as to the cause
of the fire. It was stated by all witnesses that rodent populations were low as an
exterminator was contracted to the building for vermin control regularly. Witness
did agree a fire had occurred in the bathroom area that separated the workshop
from the refreshment room a few years ago but had been completely rewired.

The fire was first witnessed by a passer-by who was also a volunteer firefighter.
noticed smoke coming from the building and investigated with his partner in their
personal vehicle before calling 111.
This was evidenced by personal statement and observed on CCTV footage from
another building onsite but separate from the main shed.
As part of the response I attended at the time of the fire, so was in a position to
save as much of the building as possible for investigation purposes. This was done
in discussion with operational crews at the time of the fire

This building was a large transport storage shed, office and workshop. It was
approximately 100m x 30m in size and consisted of a large open shed area
containing multiple vehicles in the use of agricultural transport such as bulkheads
and truck and trailer units.
Under the Official Information Act
The building was actually building's but constructed of steel beam and roof that
was open and stored the vehicles whilst at the west end was a workshop/ kitchen
building constructed of timber framing with corrugate metal cladding and metal
roof.
The building was used as a depot for a rural transport provider as well as, a
workshop and a kitchen/ refreshment room with small bathroom.
Staff had been present onsite until approximately 4.30pm. Due to the nature of the
transport industry staff movement on and offsite was consistent all day. The last
employee onsite left at 5.10pm locking the door to the office an workshop building.
