Latest details on Devizes fires that had major emergency response

Fire crews were called to reports of a house fire in Woodlands, on Bath Road, at 2.40pm on Friday, July 11, and a separate shed fire in Mayenne Place at 2.55pm.

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue have confirmed that the fires are not connected despite being roughly half a mile apart and happening within 15 minutes of each other.

Four fire crews responded to the fire in the first floor of the property while a further two crews tackled the shed fire.

Photos taken at the scene show part of the home destroyed.

At the time the fire service said shortly before 4pm: "We are in attendance at a domestic property fire on Bath Road, Devizes.

 "We were called at 2:40pm today and four fire appliances were mobilised from Trowbridge, Ludgershall, Calne and Corsham. 

"On arrival crews found a fire on the first floor of a detached property which is being extinguished using two main lines and two hose reel jets."

On the separate fire at Mayenne Place, a spokesperson added: "We were called to reports of a building fire on Mayenne Road, Devizes at 2:55pm today.

"Crews from Marlborough and Malmesbury were mobilised and on arrival found a large shed alight. 

"This is still ongoing."

The service has since confirmed that investigations into both fires are ongoing.

Wiltshire Police said the force has "no further involvement" and had been on scene to assist the fire service. 

There is no criminal investigation taking place into the incidents.
