Phoenix Recycling Takanini.
Large pile of metal scrap including car parts well involved upon arrival.  Contained 
to 2 areas approx. 10m x 10m each.  Damage to stacked containers. 
Tactics included deck monitor and transitioned to aerial attack in conjunction with 
onsite machinery used to infiltrate the pile. 
It is undetermined but ;likely a battery had caused ignition despite stringent 
processes in place.
