At 9:11pm on Thursday, 22 October, we received reports of a fire on Berrys Lane near Burghfield.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Caversham Road, Wokingham Road, Wokingham, Mortimer, Whitley Wood and Theale fire stations were sent to the scene alongside two Officers and an Incident Command Unit from Maidenhead Fire Station.

On arrival, crews discovered a fire involving approximately 15 tonnes of woodchips. Firefighters used three hose reels to extinguish the fire. Firefighters then used a thermal imaging camera to monitor the area for hotspots.

Crews were at the scene for approximately four hours before returning twice to reinspect the scene and extinguish hotspots.
