Residents evacuated as fire breaks out in Cambridgeshire garage
Fire crews from across Cambridgeshire were called to a fire which broke out in a commercial garage in the early hours of 10th October.
A cordon of around 200 meters was put in place around the Milestone Motor Company in Manor Farm. Many residents in Gravely had to be evacuated at around 3.30am as firefighters feared gas cylinders stored in the garage may explode.
A spokesperson from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Due to the cylinders involved, the fire service put a 200 metre cordon in place and police alerted residents within the cordon, some of which were evacuated. Other residents who are less at risk were advised of the situation.”
Crews from Papworth, St Neots, Huntingdon, St Ives and Ramsey fire stations attended the incident.
There were no casualties reported in the incident.
