Fire crews from Andover and Whitchurch were called to a fire inside a mobility scooter shed at around 10pm on Saturday night (9th July 2016).
The shed is situated next to sheltered housing in Westfield Court on Old Winton Road, the blaze destroyed the shed and the mobility scooters stored inside.
Residents were asked to remain in their flats until the fire was brought under control by the fire service, they were given the all clear at around 12.30am.
A resident told Andover & Villages, “It is very unnerving, no one will say whether it was deliberate or a fault with electrics.”
There were no known casualties.
Whitchurch Fire Service praised the site manager of the Westfield Court for being ‘well organised’, which made the fire crew’s job much easier.
