TWO FIRE crews from Callington had to remove chemicals which had been dumped at Kelly Bray last Wednesday.

The firefighters and a specialist environmental support unit from Bodmin were sent to deal with the 25-litre drum found on Launceston Road at 7.30pm.

It was suspected that the abandoned drum contained corrosive chemicals and officers wearing breathing apparatus sets moved the drum into a safety container.

Licensed contractors were then called to the scene to dispose of it.
