Fire in unoccupied house

One appliance and crew from High Wycombe and one from Amersham attended.

A fire in the ground floor of an unoccupied building was producing smoke that had travelled through the roof void and affected five additional properties.

The firefighters used:

• Two sets of breathing apparatus
• One hose reel jet
• A thermal imaging camera
• A positive pressure ventilation fan
• They isolated the electricity supply and removed items affected by fire.

The house was around 20 percent damaged by fire and around 80 per cent damaged by smoke.
