A ROAD in Wantage was shut because of a house fire this afternoon.
The A338 Newbury Road was closed northbound because of the fire at a building near Willow Lane.
There are no reported injuries as a result of the fire which was attended by firefighters.
Eyewitness Sinclair James Third said: "Emergency services broke the door in pretty quickly before neighbouring properties were involved.
"No one seemed in, so no apparent injuries."
