A huge fire has broken out in Reading city centre with dramatic footage showing one person being rescued by a crane on the roof of the burning building.
Large plumes of black smoke have been seen filling the sky in the area and fire crews have asked members of the public to avoid Station Road in the town centre.
Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance Service are also on the scene.
People took to social media to share videos of the massive black smoke cloud over the city - with one person on the ground filming someone appearing to be trapped on the site being rescued by emergency services.
