FIRE and Rescue Service crews were called to a boat fire last month.

The river-dwelling vehicle was well alight when crews arrived at 8.39am on Sunday, March 26.

Teams from Theale, Mortimer, Whitley Wood, and Caversham Road fire stations were sent to the scene near Padworth Lane, alongside the Water Rescue Unit from Caversham Road Fire Station and one RBFRS Officer.

Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus extinguished the fire using a hose reel, before using a large powered fan to clear the remaining smoke.

Crews were on the scene for approximately three-and-a-half hours.
