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/
