Fire crews spend hours battling blaze at grain store
Fire crews from Whitchurch and Basingstoke took more than four hours to tackle a blaze at a grain store this week.
Four crews, one from Whitchurch and three from Basingstoke, were called to Hampshire Grain at Overton Road, Micheldever on Wednesday 10 August at 11.15am.
Firefighters extinguished a fire that had started in the dust handling unit of a five-storey grain store.
Surrounding equipment was dismantled to make sure the fire had not spread elsewhere.
No-one was harmed in the fire, which was extinguished at just before 3.30pm.
