One appliance and crew from Beaconsfield and one from High Wycombe attended.
Smoke was issuing from a garage, attached to a house, when they arrived.
The firefighters used:
- Two sets of breathing apparatus
- One hose reel jet
- A positive pressure ventilation fan
The fire was contained within the garage; however, smoke had affected the house.
The fire was believed to have been caused by an electric bike which had been on charge in the garage.
