Fire engines race to Costa Coffee in Faringdon retail park

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue said it was called at 7.19pm on Tuesday (November 19) to Costa Coffee on a retail park on Henry Blake Way in Faringdon.

Four engines from Faringdon, Carterton, Bampton and Abingdon fire stations attended the drive-thru as a result of a smell of burning from the air conditioning at the property.

Eyewitness Tyler Hoare said: "At first there was one engine - then I saw a second one going past me into town.

However, the fire service said no fire was detected, and the incident was handed back to the occupiers to get maintenance engineers to investigate further.

Crews left the scene at 8pm.
