Fire crews were called to The Gables in Wolverton just before 10:00 this morning (17/8) following reports of a fire.
Bucks Fire reports that the fire started in a bin store on the 6th floor of the 11-storey block of flats on St Georges Way.
Three appliances and crews from West Ashland, one from Newport Pagnell, one from Buckingham, one from Leighton Buzzard, one from Mereway and two officers attended. Firefighters used water backpacks and a fan.
The fire caused smoke-logging to the floors above it.
Police were also on the scene, and have reassured residents that it was an "isolated incident" and that "all is in order".
Last year, an arsonist set a communal cupboard on fire at The Gables, which has left residents questioning whether today's incident is arson too. However, at this stage it is just speculation, as Bucks Fire has stated that the cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
Police Community Support Officers (PCSO's) will be present in the area throughout the day to offer further reassurance.
