NINE fire crews from the area battled a blaze on the Long Crendon Industrial estate, in the early hours of last Thursday (Sept 18).
Only swift action by the fire fighters, coupled with an early warning alarm, apparently saved Windles Printers from disaster.
Firefighters were called to on the Long Crendon Industrial Estate at 2.45am on Thursday morning.

A total of nine crews from nearby Haddenham, Aylesbury, Stokenchurch, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame and Watlington were sent to the fire at around 2.45am.

Buckinghamshire Fire Service said that the number of trucks sent out to the blaze was down to a lack of water in the area.

A spokesman is reported as saying that luckily only around 10% of the ground floor was involved in the fire, thanks to the firefighters. The fire alarm system was activated early on, but there was however, a lot of smoke damage.

An investigation into the cause of the fire has begun. It is not believed to be arson.
