At 2:01pm on Monday, 8 December, we received reports of a fire in a flat on High Street in Slough.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Slough, Langley, Maidenhead and Windsor fire stations were sent to the scene, alongside the Incident Command Unit from Maidenhead Fire Station, and three Officers. Four crews and one Officer from Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, and one crew from Surrey Fire and Rescue Service were also sent to the scene.
Upon arrival, crews discovered a kitchen fire in a flat on the fourth floor of the building. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus conducted an evacuation of the building before using one main jet to extinguish the fire, before using a ventilation fan to clear the smoke from the area.
Crews were at the scene for approximately two hours and 15 minutes.
