Smoke plume seen as two dozen firefighters battle serious blaze in Swindon

Emergency services are currently attending a house fire in Swindon.

More than two dozen firefighters are battling the serious blaze in the Mulbury Grove area of Pinehurst this evening (Thursday, 12 May).

At least five engines and two ambulances are at the scene, believed to be a property in Holly Close.

It’s not yet clear if anyone’s been hurt or if anyone was within the building when the fire broke out.

Local residents say smoke is billowing from the side of a house, as firefighters race to stop the flames from spreading.

A spokesperson for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed their attendance as a “domestic fire”, but further updates aren’t expected until later.
