MARLBOROUGH Road in Royal Wootton Bassett has been closed while Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service deal with a bungalow fire.

Crews were called to Lanes Farm at 1.20pm and found the roof of a detached bungalow well alight. The fire has since spread to the rest of the property.

Some 20 firefighters are tackling the blaze, with crews attending from Royal Wootton Bassett, Westlea, Swindon and Cricklade.

They are being supported by the aerial appliance from Swindon and an incident command vehicle from Stratton.

The road will remain closed until the firefighting operation is complete, to ensure crew safety.
