Garden fire spreads to multiple houses in Bordon

We were alerted to a fire on Birch Road, Bordon at 4pm yesterday afternoon. The fire, which originated in a garden, quickly spread to neighbouring properties. Firefighters from Alton, Bordon, Petersfield, Rushmoor and St Mary’s worked alongside colleagues from Surrey FRS to tackle the blaze. Crews used breathing apparatus, main jets, hose reel jets and an aerial ladder platform vehicle to extinguish the fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The stop message was issued just before 7pm. In total, the fire caused damage to five properties and their gardens, and two vehicles. There’s no reported injuries, however two pet dogs were rescued from a property and given oxygen therapy by firefighters, before being cared for by their vet. The cause of the fire is thought to be an electrical fault in a garden shed.
