Fire breaks out at Pinewood Studios after 'explosions' during filming of Snow White

A fire has broken out at Pinewood Studios after "explosions" were heard during the filming of Snow White.

Fire engines were called to the scene as firemen tackled the blaze, which is said to have broken out at the David Attenborough stage.

Crews and appliances from 10 different fire departments are attending the incident, alongside five officers and a Control Unit from Maidenhead.

A source told The Sun : "A set made up of a lot of wood, and trees etc was currently being built in the Richard Attenborough stage.

"Rumour is a piece of set has caught alight and spread across the rest of the set."

The Mirror has contacted Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service for comment.

Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service are also in attendance at the scene and are supporting the fire services responding.

The incident is currently ongoing.

This comes just four months after another fire broke out at the iconic British studios, which is also the home of James Bond.

Emergency service crews raced to the site in Slough, Berkshire at around 9:10pm as smoke billowed high into the air.

Residents on Fulmer Road have reportedly said they heard a "very big explosion".

Passersby also described the blaze as "huge fire" and said at least five fire engines attended.

It is thought workshops 141 and 142 are affected.

A person wrote online: "Pinewood Studios is currently on fire!"

Another tweeted: "Sad to hear about the fire at pinewood studios. Hopefully nobody got hurt."

Similarly another post read: "Hope everyone is safe; just seen a huge fire at Pinewood Studios and at least five fire engines are in attendance."
