Emergency services are responding to a significant fire at the Daler-Rowney facility in Bracknell, England, where firefighters are working to bring a large blaze under control after reports of heavy smoke rising from the industrial site.
The fire reportedly broke out at the Daler-Rowney premises earlier today, prompting a rapid response from local fire and rescue teams. Witnesses in the area described seeing multiple emergency vehicles heading toward the site as thick smoke became visible from surrounding roads and neighborhoods.
Daler-Rowney, an internationally recognized manufacturer of art materials and creative supplies, operates from the affected location, raising concern among employees and nearby residents. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether any injuries have occurred or whether evacuations were necessary.
As a precaution, residents in nearby areas have been advised to keep windows and doors closed due to drifting smoke. Motorists have also been urged to avoid the surrounding roads while emergency crews maintain access to the scene and work to contain the fire.
Firefighters are continuing efforts to suppress the blaze and prevent it from spreading to adjacent structures within the industrial area. Specialist teams are also monitoring potential risks linked to smoke and heat exposure.
Once the fire is fully contained and the site is deemed safe, an investigation is expected to determine the cause of the incident and assess the extent of any damage.
At this stage, details remain limited as emergency operations continue. Further updates are expected as authorities release confirmed information.
