MailOnline 16 MAY 2025
The former RAF base is now home to over 50 specialist businesses, which focus on classic car restoration and engineering
TWO DIED
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Services chief fire officer Rob MacDougall choked with emotion as he delivered a statement at a press conference in Bicester, Oxfordshire
Some 10 fire and rescue crews were tackling the blaze in Bicester, which has prompted a major response and warnings for local residents to stay indoors.
Three were killed after a huge blaze ripped through a former RAF base near the Oxfordshire village last night.
The fire broke out at around 6:40pm on Thursday, with ten fire engines deployed to the scene to tackle the flames.
Two other firefighters were rushed to hospital with serious injuries. The fire has since been brought under control.
Witnesses said they heard multiple explosions and clouds of dense black smoke could be seen for miles following the inferno at Bicester Motion in Oxfordshire.
Thames Valley Police has now launched an unexplained death probe following the fire, but stressed this is not yet a criminal investigation.
A statement released today read: Everyone at Thames Valley Police is extremely saddened by the deaths of two firefighters and a member of the public following a fire in Bicester.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the families, friends and colleagues of those who have tragically lost their lives.
A message left from Thames Valley Police reads To my Red Light Family, in memory of two heroes. With deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to family and friends. Always in our thoughts, your Blue Light Family
