## Resource

A massive fire at Highlands Farm in Essex sent over 100 firefighters into battle — the blaze erupted in an industrial unit, exploded into a fertilizer store, and sent shockwaves through the area like a bomb. The chief called it one of the most intense fires in years, with debris raining down and 20 firefighters hospitalized — 16 for precautionary checks, four with minor injuries. Three fire engines and two cars were destroyed, and recovery efforts are now underway for the devastated businesses.
