EMERGENCY services tackled a fire at a Shinfield property on Saturday morning.
The two residents of the flat at 6 Frensham Green were not in at the time of the incident.
Neighbours called the fire brigade at approximately 8.51am on December 3.
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service crews from Caversham Road, Wokingham Road and Whitley Wood fire stations were sent to the scene, alongside an officer.
Firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus used a hose reel and a jet to extinguish the fire.
Windows on the first floor of the two-story building were left smashed.
Crews were on the scene for approximately two hours and five minutes.
Shinfield North councillor Parry Batth was on the scene shortly after the incident and said: “I will try to get the windows boarded up, which look like they have been broken completely, and I will get Wokingham Borough Council to help the residents with some temporary accommodation in the meantime.
“I wish them well, but it’s a sad scene, it doesn’t look very nice. I will do my best to assist the residents who are affected.”
