At 5:39pm on Tuesday, 29 October, we received reports of a fire in a commercial property on Erleigh Road in Reading.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Wokingham Road, Caversham Road and Whitley Wood fire stations were sent to the scene.
Upon arrival, crews found one tumble dryer on fire. After two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used one hose reel to extinguish the fire, crews ventilated the area and isolated the electrics, ensuring the premises was safe.
They were on scene for approximately one hour.
