Thame Fire Offices In Cylinder Scare

THAME fire officers were faced with a potentially dangerous situation when they were called to a fire in Morton, near Thame, early yesterday morning.
A shed, containing two gas cylinders, a log pile and an area of trees and fencing were on fire when two pumps from Thame arrived on the scene.
Thame Station Officer, Andy Ford, told ThameNews.Net: “Those cylinders posed a considerable danger but fortunately, we were able to locate them and safely remove them from the fire.
“Prior to our arrival, a fire extinguisher had exploded in the fire and the property owner showed us a metal French boule which had landed about 25 ft from the shed. This just highlights the danger of fires involving any cylinders.
