Homes evacuated near major fire | |
(about 16 hours later) | |
A major fire has gutted a warehouse in Buckinghamshire and 30 people living nearby were moved from their homes. | |
More than 70 firefighters tackled the blaze at RR Donnelly in Gatehouse Road in Aylesbury on Saturday afternoon. | |
Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue said 12 appliances and specialist crews were called in to stop flames spreading. | |
Spokesman Frazer Pearson said at its peak, the smoke plume could be seen 15 miles away. Fire crews were still at the scene on Sunday damping down. | |
An investigation into the cause of the blaze will begin once the site has been made safe. | |
Firefighters were hampered when the blaze first broke out because propane gas cylinders were believed to be inside the warehouse. | |
They fought the flames from outside the building because of concerns the cylinders could explode. |
