Firefighters spent four hours tackling an industrial fire that had spread to the roof of two neighbouring units.
999 crews were called shortly before 1.45am this morning to reports of a fire at Oaklands Enterprises Industrial Estate in Braydon.
Initially, firefighters from Royal Wootton Bassett, Swindon and Westlea attended the blaze.
However, the fire was such that an aerial appliance from Swindon and a water pump were also called to the scene.
Fire crews used hoses and specialist equipment to fight the fire, stripping back material from the burning roof.
They also took the precaution of turning off overhead power cables and checking nearby buildings for heat damage.
The last crew left the scene at around 6am this morning.
