At 12:44am on Friday, 17 October, we received reports of a fire in the open on Scours Lane 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 in the open near the river edge involving two gas cylinders. Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used main jets to put out the fire, before using a thermal imaging camera to monitor the temperature of the cylinders.
They were on scene for approximately two hours and 18 minutes.
The crew from Caversham Road Fire Station later returned to the scene for a reinspection, where they used a thermal imaging camera to monitor the temperature of the cylinders and found they were safe.
