FIRE
DESTROYS STORAGE BUILDING
Fire crews from both Hungerford and Newbury tackled
a fire in the early hours of Saturday morning at the
Triangle Field in Hungerford.
It is reported that two wheelie bins were deliberately
set alight, which in-turn spread to the eaves of the
storage building, rapidly engulfing the structure.
Complete
disaster was averted thanks to the fire crews knowledge
of the building, meaning they were able
to prevent the fire from spreading to the main clubhouse.
Despite this the changing facilities and the storage
rooms were completely gutted.
Hungerford Mayor Peter Harries praised the fire crews,
particularly Paul Whiting, whose prompt action prevented
the fire spreading. He
added that this is the sixth such incident in the Hungerford
area in the past two and a half years, including damage
to the Library during its consruction and two playgrounds.
Police are currently investigating the fire.
