Firefighters From Across Hampshire Tackle Huge Fire on Industrial Estate
Crews from across Hampshire are using aerial ladder platforms and have closed surrounding roads while they work to contain the blaze.
- Essex County Fire and Rescue Service crews responded to a major fire at Bridane Lodge, a £1.4 million home on Maldon Road, Woodham Mortimer, in the early hours of Saturday, September 19, as flames spread across the property's thatched roof.
- Firefighters faced "a difficult water supply" while battling the blaze, forcing crews to shuttle water from a nearby swimming pool and other open-water sources to contain the flames.
- Ten crews worked throughout the night in rotating shifts, utilizing an Aerial Ladder Platform to reach the roof as flames threatened to spread further across the thatch.
- Group manager Scott Ford stated crews "worked exceptionally well throughout the night to extinguish the fire," remaining on scene until Saturday afternoon to strip and clear the remaining thatch from the roof.
- A formal investigation into the blaze's cause is planned once the site is safe to access, while a section of Maldon Road remained closed until 11am on Saturday to facilitate emergency operations.
