At 5:55am on Wednesday, 7 January, we received reports of a fire on Prospect Street in Reading.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Caversham Road, Wokingham Road and Whitley Wood fire stations were sent to the scene.
Upon arrival, crews found a fire on a ground floor flat. Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used one hose reel to put out the fire, before using a ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the property.
They were on scene for approximately two hours and 40 minutes.
