Arson attack at Highway Maintenance site
A suspected arson attack has damaged several highway maintenance road painting vehicles in Slough. 25 highly flammable gas cylinders were also caught up in the blaze.
Firefighters attended the fire at Wilson and Scott Highways in Poyle Industrial Estate on 1st January at around 7pm.
Watch manager Pete Farmer said: “Liquid propane gas cylinders were exploding and venting off traveling distances of 25metres from the scene through the area. We had to use other buildings to protect ourselves because of the hazard of cylinders firing through the area.”
There were no casualties reported in the incident. An investigation into the cause of the fire will be carried out.
