A GARAGE was left completely destroyed after a massive fire yesterday afternoon. 

Firefighters raced to Churchill Road, in Kidlington, at 3.08pm as the blaze tore through the building.

Oxford Mail:

Emergency services were worried it would spread to the neighbours house but quick-thinking from the crew had the fire under control. 

One resident was left with minor injuries trying to save precious items. 

Incident Commander Watch Manager Ellis Bicknell said: “It’s that time of year when petrol powered garden machinery is re-emerging after its winter hibernation.

This incident was a timely reminder to ensure machinery is started-up outside and away from flammable materials.”
