Firefighters tackled a blaze at an Oxforshire industrial estate this morning (Saturday, August 26).

Crews from Banbury Fire Station along with colleagues from Deddington Fire Station were called to a fire in a commercial unit on Wildmere Industrial Estate, in Banbury.

Firefighters entered the building wearing breathing apparatus and put out the fire using CO2 extinguishers and hose reels.

A fire service spokesperson said all staff evacuated before the arrival of the fire service, ensuring nobody was still inside.

Banbury Fire Station is a 24-hour crewed and on-call fire station, with two rescue engines, a high-volume pumping appliance and a 4x4 vehicle.
