A fire erupted at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire during the early hours of Sunday, prompting a major emergency response and safety warnings for nearby residents.
The Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service confirmed it was dealing with a blaze at a commercial building in the Fairford area, with multiple crews deployed to bring the situation under control. Authorities advised residents to keep doors and windows shut due to smoke drifting from the site.
Videos circulating online appeared to show flames and thick smoke billowing from a structure within the base, although officials have not yet confirmed the exact source or cause of the fire.
The base, which is used by the United States Air Force, has recently been linked to operations involving US bombers in the Middle East, including missions related to Iran.
Emergency services remain at the scene, and there has been no official confirmation of casualties or the full extent of the damage.
