Building fire in High Wycombe
A FIRE broke out at a warehouse in High Wycombe this evening.
The blaze, in Copyground Lane, began at around 5pm.
It is thought that a car in the building caught fire, and in turn set off the roof of the building.
Rob Smith, 21, of Lindsay Avenue was having a barbecue at his house, which backs onto the site of the fire, when the blaze started.
He said: "We were just outside in the garden having a barbeque and we saw smoke from round the back. We looked and the whole roof of the building was on fire.
"It was really black smoke, and it really smelt like petrol. We heard a few loud bangs, like things exploding. The fire brigade were there in under five minutes.
"The funny thing was that our barbecue wasn't even working."
Police cordoned off a section of the road as firefighters dealt with the blaze.

Is the building badly damaged? If it is badly damaged no doubt the housing developers will soon be poking their snouts around the site looking to see how many unnecessary houses they can build on the ground if the garage has to be pulled down.

Yes, Go away Ivor, are you really such a sad, friendless, cretin that you have to use every BFP news article to promote your brainless opinions on building developers, the Eden centre, light bulbs etc etc. You really must be as pathetic as you sound.

Ivor I’m with you on this one.
For your information the building is a listed building. The owners have been applying for planning permission to build flats but keep getting rejected. The only way to build on a listed site is if the structure is damaged! Surprise we have a fire!
