Date: 22nd June, 2025
We were called to The Pry, Purton at 3.59am on 21 June for a severe fire in a house annexe.
Crews attended from Westlea, Swindon, Stratton, Cricklade and Malmesbury, with six breathing apparatus wearers using three hose reel jets and two main jets to extinguish the fire.
Wiltshire Police have confirmed that a man sadly lost his life at this incident. We are now working with them to provide a report for HM Coroner. However, it has been established that there are no suspicious circumstances.
