Fire breaks out at Pinewood Studios during Snow White filming after 'explosions' as crews fight blaze

A FIRE has broken out at the David Attenborough stage at Pinewood studios during filming of Snow White.

Its thought six fire engines are currently in attendance after "explosions" were heard by witnesses.



An anonymous source told The Sun: "A set made up of a lot of wood, and trees etc was currently being built in the Richard Attenborough stage.

"Rumour is a piece of set has caught alight and spread across the rest of the set.

"Six fire engines from local stations have arrived and currently tackling the fire.

"Some crew in the studio were shaken but evacuated without injury apparently."

Pinewood has been home to the James Bond stage since 1976, with its construction costing $1.8 million (£1.3 million).

The set burned to the ground in June 1984 towards the end of filming Ridley Scott's Legend but was rebuilt and reopened in January 1985.

In July 2006, another fire occurred after production ended on the Bond film Casino Royale.

The set was later demolished and rebuilt in under six months.

The Sun has contacted Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Servicefor comment.
