A telecom mast blaze was extinguished with a hose jet by firefighters during a more than 90-minute call out this week.
At 9:43pm on Monday, April 6, the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service received reports of a fire on Granville Avenue in Slough.
Two crews from Slough Fire Station were sent to the scene alongside an Officer.
The fires service stated: "On arrival, crews discovered a telecom mast on fire.
"Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used one hose reel and one main jet to extinguish the fire.
"Crews were at the scene for approximately one hour and 35 minutes before returning the following morning to reinspect the site."
This comes days after a call out to a telecom mast fire in Buckinghamshire which has seen an arson investigation launched.
Between 8.15 and 9pm on March 31, a fire was started on a 5G mast at the junction of Saxon Street and Dexter Avenue in Oldbrook.
Officers attended alongside other emergency services and evacuated nearby residents.
The fire was quickly extinguished by the fire service and no one was injured.
Residents have since returned to their homes.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable Jordan Wallace, said: “We believe that this fire was started deliberately and so are investigating it as an incident of arson.
“I am appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to please come forward."
