The Telegraph reported:
“Several crews were deployed to the incident at RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Footage taken overnight appears to show smoke billowing from what is claimed to be the base’s commissary, a shop that provides food and equipment.
Other pictures from the scene show that the building’s roof collapsed as firefighters brought the blaze under control. No one was injured and no RAF aircraft was damaged.”
Watch: USAF has the ‘big guns’ on Fairford.
