TWO gas cylinders reportedly exploded as firefighters tackled a major fire near Little Horwood on Tuesday, April 21.
Crews from Winslow, Buckingham, Milton Keynes and Bletchley were called to the fire at Mursley Hall Farm Equestrian Centre in Little Horwood Road at just after 3.45pm.
Initial reports suggest around 10 tons of wood were involved in the blaze, along with a vehicle.
Firefighters were proceeding carefully due to the presence of gas cylinders near the burning wood pile.
Witnesses said a large plume of smoke could be seen for several miles when the fire first broke out.
The centre has around 40 horses on site, which are all said to be fine.
No injuries have been reported. Further updates will be added when available.
