We responded to Foleshill Road, Coventry shortly after 12.10am on Saturday 12 October. Six fire engines and a 4×4 brigade response vehicle initially responded, crewed by firefighters from Foleshill, Coventry, Bickenhill, Binley and Canley stations. This was a fire in a two-storey building used as a vehicle workshop. The fire affected around half of the ground floor and the entire first floor and roof space. Firefighters worked to bring the fire under control, and it was confirmed to have been safely extinguished at around 3.10am. There were no casualties or injuries. National Grid engineers were in attendance to isolate electricity to the property. Police colleagues assisted with traffic management. Firefighters remained at the scene to damp down hotspots. They were supported by drone operations. We revisited this incident on two occasions to check for hotspots. None were identified and we handed the scene over to National Grid, who continued excavation work.
