FIRE crews rushed to a large fire at a dock yard.
It happened at Tilbury Docks last night at 11.33pm
Five crews were sent.
At midnight firefighters reported that approximately 350 tonnes of woodchip was alight and firefighters were attempting to bring the fire under control.
By 6am today, crews report they were making good progress, but due to the nature of the fire, it is expected that it will take some time to fully extinguish.
