Three fire crews were called to deal with a blaze involving around 200 plastic water containers at the water tratment works at Great Lumley, near Chester-le-Street.
Two appliances from High Handenhold and one from Durham responded to the alarm at 6.24pm and arrived to find the containers well alight. They extinguished the fire using one jet and a portable pump.
