Fire crews from across the borough were called to a suspected blaze at the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Cheney Manor Industrial Estate today.
Three fire engines from Swindon, Stratton and Westlea – accompanied by two fire officers in unmarked cars – were called to the suspected blaze at around 3.20pm this afternoon.
The fire actually turned out to be ‘steam in the drum’, according to a site security guard. 
Firefighters started coming away from the scene 20 minutes after arriving.
