At 1:57am on Thursday, 3 September, we received reports of a fire in an industrial building on Island Road in Reading.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Whitley Wood, Caversham Road, and Wokingham Road fire stations were sent to the scene, alongside one Officer.

Upon arrival, crews found a fire in a cleaning cupboard. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used one hose reel to put out the fire, before removing lithium ion batteries from the property.

They were on scene for approximately two hours and 21 minutes.
