Breaking: Fire on Harvest Road

‘As I walked past the house there were embers in the air and could hear crackling of fire’


A blaze has broken out on Harvest road near the entrance of the university.

Amelia, a final year student at Royal Holloway, told The Tab: “I could smell smoke from my house five minutes away. It was at the top of Harvest road near where it turns onto Barley Mow road.

“There was a fire engine and I smelt smoke but thought it was from the fields or something.

“But as I walked past the house I could see over the wall there were still embers in the air and could hear crackling of fire, so it wasn’t completely out at 8:45 when I left my house.”

“I’m not sure if the house was affected or if it was their garden.”
