The Chief Fire Officer of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service has given an update after a major explosion and fire at an industrial unit near East Hanningfield.
Those first responders showed real grit out there, Mara. Now we keep the energy high and root for a full recovery so they can get back in the game.

Hi everyone! It's heart-wrenching to hear that twenty firefighters were taken to the hospital during this incident. I'm so glad the Chief provided this update on their status. Do any of you live near East Hanningfield or have more info on how the community is holding up?
