Bucks Fire and Rescue service declared a major incident at 8pm last night (19/7) due to the high volume of incidents they have had to deal with over the last few days - this means they have had to stop attending Automatic Fire Alarms.
At 12:37 PM on Monday (18/7) crews were called to an overheated power line which caused a small grass fire in Widmer End, High Wycombe.
Then just hours later at 1:42 PM they were called to a field fire on Narcot Lane in Chalfont St Giles
Yesterday (19/7) eleven fire engines and crews attended a fire in a large commercial unit at 12:47 PM, on Whitehouse Lane, Wooburn More.
The crews worked for at least 12 hours to fight the fire, with the Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service also in attendance.
One barn 100% destroyed by fire, as it spread to an another four unit commercial building.
It affected both domestic and industrial properties along with hedgerow, field and electricity pylon, with one female casualty suffering from smoke inhalation - you can find updates about this incident here https://bucksfire.gov.uk/incident/fire-in-large-commercial-unit/
Then at 3:20 PM, another ten 10 appliances and crew from across Buckingahmshire, Oxfordshire and Royal Berkshire attended a fire in a scrap yard on Field Road in Denham.
The fire affected a workshop and scrapyard which included cylinders of unknown chemicals and fuels, thankfully staff on site confirmed there was no acetylene on the premises.
To top it all off, little over an hour later at 4:15 PM, firefighters extinguished a small fire in a hedgerow on Two Dells Lane in Ashley Green.
