Massive fire rips through industrial estate in Reading, southern England

  • 4 years ago
An intense fire has broken out at an industrial estate in Stadium Way, Tilehurst shortly after 07:30 a.m. on Tuesday (March 10).

The filmer told Newsflare: "While travelling home at 7:45 I could see huge plumes of black smoke. I followed the smoke to Stadium Way industrial estate, where I could see one of the units was ablaze. I pulled the car over and took a video of the developing fire."

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service have warned people nearby to stay indoors.

Reading Council took to Twitter advising people: "If you are in the west Reading area and can see smoke from the large fire at the industrial unit, please: go inside as soon as possible, shut all your windows and stay inside, listen to local radio for updates if you are in a car turn off your fan."
