Children cause fire at Bicester factory
Fire crews battled a blaze at a disused factory believed to have been started by children.
Fifteen firefighters and three fire engines from Bicester and Oxford were called to Bessimer Close, at 5.50pm on Wednesday, where a pile of rubbish had been set alight.
Mark Ames, station manager at Oxfordshire Fire Service HQ in Kidlington, said he believed children broke into the factory and started the fire.
Crews wearing breathing apparatus put out the blaze. No-one was hurt. Thames Valley Police are treating the incident as suspicious.
