Incident Update: Witherley Bungalow Fire 🚒⚡Early this morning at 3:45 AM, Nuneaton’s White Watch and Polesworth and Leicestershire Fire crews responded to a bungalow fire in Orchard Close, Witherley, Leicestershire, following a direct lightning strike.The incident was originally mobilized with persons reported. Upon arrival, crews confirmed that thankfully everyone had managed to exit the properties safely.

Firefighters wearing Breathing Apparatus (BA) quickly entered the structure with a ladder to access the roof space, deploying a hose reel jet to battle the spreading fire.Due to the intensity of the flames bursting through the roof, crews had to be withdrawn. Efforts were immediately redirected to the neighbouring property, successfully stopping the fire from spreading to the adjacent bungalow. Crews from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service remain on the scene to monitor the area and damp down remaining hotspots.
