RBFRS crews tackled a number of incidents over the weekend, including several where drivers had become stuck as they made journeys.

Reports were also received this morning of a vehicle stuck in flood water on Wasing Lane, Aldermaston.

An RBFRS crew from Mortimer was sent to the scene, alongside a crew from Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service.

One person had been towed out of the water prior to the arrival of crews, so firefighters made sure the person didn't require any further assistance before returning to the station.

Reading Chronicle:

Crews were on scene for about 30 minutes.

Throughout the weekend, crews were also called to two incidents in Mortimer where drivers had got into difficulty in flood water, but fortunately they were safe by the time crews arrived.

Fire crews are urging residents to be careful - just 30cm of flood water can make a car float.

If a road is flooded, RBFRS advise turning around and finding another route.
