Firefighters had to remove a drum full of chemicals from the Lizard Peninsula yesterday after it was washed up on a beach.
A crew from St Just were called to Lowland Point at Coverack shortly before 3pm.
After they got advice from a chemical expert, wearing breathing equipment, they removed the 25-litre drum using gauntlets.
