    Small Fire Causes Minor Damage To Bond Set At Pinewood Studios

    By Devin Zydel on 2008-06-11

    A small fire broke out in the early morning this past Friday at Pinewood Studios.

    The Maidenhead Advertiser reports that the fire broke out on one of the external sets being used for the Quantum of Solace production.

    Unlike the disastrous fire that destroyed the ‘007 Stage’ at Pinewood in July of 2006, however, this was a much smaller incident that was swifty dealt with by local firefighters.

    Andrew Smith, group director of corporate affairs, said: ‘There was a small fire on one of the external sets of a production in the early hours of this morning. I am pleased to say that no-one was harmed and the systems we have in place meant we were able to detect and respond to the incident rapidly and effectively.’

    ‘Our thanks go to the fire service and our home team for handling the situation so well.’
