FIRE engulfed a house in a residential street after an oil leak yesterday.
A total of five fire crews were called out to tackle the blaze at a home in North Close, Medmenham, shortly after 4pm.
Fire broke out in an oil storage tank before spreading to the adjoining house.
Firefighters said the roof of the house was completely destroyed by the flames, with three quarters of the first floor and a quarter of the ground floor being involved in the fire.
Four crews from High Wycombe and one from Beaconsfield were at the scene for several hours to extinguish the blaze.
