North East Herts MP, Oliver Heald, has thanked Baldock Fire Service, Police and local farmers for their hard work and professionalism in dealing with the fire on the Baldock Industrial Estate. It was particularly helpful that farmers were able to bring in extra water to help firefighters. Oliver is receiving briefings from Police, Councils and the Fire Service and is looking into whatever help there may be for local businesses whose premises were damaged. Oliver has called on North Herts Council to do what it can to help businesses recover.
Commenting Oliver said: ‘This was a major incident and very concerning. I pay tribute to the emergency services and local farmers. We will now have to see what can be done to help Baldock recover.’
Ends.
