In total, firefighters used two main jets, one hose reel, two sets of breathing apparatus, and on-site machinery, and removed, inspected, and cooled an oxygen cylinder and a propane cylinder to battle the blaze.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire has not been disclosed.
Coincidently on the same day, Buckinghamshire Council and Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue urged those who live in the town to ‘correctly recycle’ electrical devices and goods.
This comes after an incident in Padbury in Buckingham, where a fire broke out onboard one of Buckinghamshire Council’s waste vehicles.
