A DOUGHNUT factory fell victim to a fire in its kitchen on Monday evening.

Firefighters were scrambled to tackle the fire at Pippin Doughnuts at around 5.10pm.

Three fire crews from Swindon, Stratton and Westlea along with an aerial ladder platform from Swindon attended the call.

A spokeswoman for Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “The fire was out by 6.10pm, but crews remained on site to damp down the area. They used two sets of breathing apparatus, a hose reel jet and a main jet.

“The fire was contained at the one premises.”
