About 25 firefighters attended the blaze at the four-storey Hong Kong restaurant in West Street, Reading, which was described as “well alight”.

Looks like the smoke’s reached Berkshire. There’s a dull grey film across the sky. Quite mental really, they showed a satellite image and the smoke is covering most of the South East already.
