Another
sad fire to report I’m afraid. It was
reported yesterday in the oxford mail that…… “EIGHT fire engines are currently dealing with a blaze in a thatched
cottage in Canal Road, Thrupp, near Kidlington.
The fire broke out in the roof of the cottage
located in a row of homes at about 6pm.
Firefighters have prevented the blaze from
spreading to the neighbouring properties.
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue group manager
Gary Cooper confirmed at 9.30pm crews WERE still using hoses to
dampen the thatch and were in the process of salvaging property from the
cottage.”
Thank goodness it was prevented from spreading, but sadly the cottage itself was pretty much destroyed. This follows another Oxfordshire thatch fire on Jan 15th at Roke Marsh near Wallingford. In that one, ‘gas canisters’ were mentioned, but no further information released.
