THE ROYAL Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service attended and tackled a fire in a derelict building in Tilehurst, Reading, this week.

Crews from Caversham Road, Theale, and Wokingham Road fire stations were called to a property in Thurso Close at 9.54pm on Monday, May 29.

On arrival, RBFRS found a fire on the first floor and roof space of the building, which is derelict, when two crews began tackling the fire with water jets.

Crews remained on the scene for 2 hours and 45 minutes, remaining to dampen down the property and check for fire spread.

The scene was also re-inspected on the following morning.
