A resident described hearing a loud bang and initially thinking it struck their own house. They then saw smoke billowing from their neighbour’s roof.
“Our crews encountered a sizable fire in the roof,” said Mark Woodward, watch commander at Herts Fire and Rescue’s Watford station. “We deployed two teams with breathing apparatus to combat the fire from within the building, and they were successful in stopping it from spreading further.”
The Met Office had forecasted thunderstorms, which arrived around 4:20 am and lasted until approximately 6:00 am.
