Warning as Emergency Tackle Flames at RAF Fairford
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service said it was responding to a blaze in a commercial building as smoke prompted residents to shut windows and doors.
- A fire erupted at RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday, a UK military base utilized by the United States Air Force for operations against Iran.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer granted the United States Air Force permission to use the base for 'defensive' strikes in March, establishing the facility's operational role.
- Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service reported the blaze occurred within a disused building; officials indicated the fire was 'accidental' and "no persons are believed to be injured."
- Local residents were advised to keep windows closed due to smoke, while the Ministry of Defence confirmed no RAF personnel participated in firefighting efforts.
- Tensions regarding the base's role remain high; a peaceful anti-war protest was held there yesterday, Saturday, opposing the military operations against Iran.
