Firefighters have battled a house blaze on the outskirts of Swindon for over six hours.
Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to reports of a fire at a property in Lydiard Green, Lydiard Millicent, at around 3am this morning.
Four crews from Royal Wootton Bassett, Westlea, Swindon and Stratton, alongside an aerial appliance from Swindon, were all in attendance.
It’s said a fire broke out in a shed before the flames spread to the upper floor and roof of the adjoining house.
At 9.30am, firefighters remained at the scene damping down and dealing with hot spots.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: “Six breathing apparatus wearers have used three hose reel jets and two main jets to extinguish the fire.
“A crew from Swindon remains on scene as a watching brief, dealing with any hot spots and damping down as required.”
