FOUR fire engines fought to save a burning garage in Thame earlier today.
The pall of black smoke coming from the blazing building in Kingsey Road, Thame, could be seen from Waitrose’s carpark on the other side of the town.
The owner of the garage, situated at the bottom of his garden, behind the Churchill Crescent play area, called the emergency services at around 11.20 am this morning, and two engines from Thame, one from Wheatley and another from Banbury, were soon on the scene.
Thame Fire Officer, Steven Lockwood, told ThameNews.net at the scene: “The fire was quickly brought under control by around 20 fire officers working in teams wearing breathing apparatus, but not before personal belongings stored in the roof space of the building and a fridge-freezer, had been destroyed.
“We are continuing to dampen down and are keeping a close eye on the building which is in some danger of collapsing.”
An investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway.
