Homes evacuated during Pitstone bungalow fire where roof was destroyed
Emergency responders rushed to a fire reported in a Pitstone neighbourhood yesterday evening.
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue service was alerted to a household fire on Glebe Close at around 8:30pm last night.
The service confirmed that the home’s roof was completely destroyed as a result of the blaze. It has been reported locally that three households had to be evacuated and that no one was injured during the emergency event.
Five fire engines were sent to the scene and Thames Valley Police officers also attended. Firefighters used four sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and two main jets along with a shorty extension ladder and small tool equipment to extinguish the fire, Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue service revealed.
It was also confirmed that a further assessment of the incident was carried out in the early hours of this morning. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue service confirmed the roof of the burning property was 100% damaged but local speculation suggests the entire home may have been damaged beyond repair.
