Though there was still a smell of burning in the air, I didn't know when I took this view that the fire had broken out here earlier the same day. The local paper reported that no-one was injured by the fire, believed to have been caused by an electrical fault. The fire was detected by the occupier whose neighbour dialled 999. Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue was called to the fire at 1.33am. Two appliances were initially sent from Dursley Fire Station, but another crew was later sent from Wotton-under-Edge. It took 14 firefighters almost two hours to extinguish the blaze and the crews remained at the scene for more than four hours, making sure the fire was completely out and trying to save some of the occupier's possessions.
