Crews remain at blaze warehouse

A smoke plume could be seen across Reading

Firefighters who tackled a major fire which spread through a large paper warehouse will remain on site for another 24 hours, the BBC has learned.

At its height 60 firefighters attended the blaze at Paddock Road Industrial Estate, Caversham, Reading, on Sunday.

The building's roof contained asbestos and residents in the Amersham Road area were told to remain indoors.

No one was hurt. The warehouse, thought to be too unsafe to enter, belonged to business mailing firm, Herald Chase.

Last weekend, a smoke plume could be seen across the town and some people said burning debris landed near their homes.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue said crews took more than 100 calls about the blaze, which began at 0730 GMT.
