Explosion at The Office trading estate
An explosion has rocked the business park used as the location in the hit Ricky Gervais comedy The Office.
Fire services are currently tacking a blaze on Slough Trading Estate after what is believed to be a chemical explosion occurred at around 10am this morning.
Thames Valley Police say there are not believed to be any casualties and crews from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service are still firefighting.
They added that the cause of the fire would be investigated but it is not believed to be suspicious.
The opening sequence to The Office was filmed on Slough Trading Estate, Berkshire and Gervais' team from paper merchants Wernham Hogg are based there.
Workers on the business park say the bang shook buildings and many thought it was a earthquake ... or Ricky returning to perform his trademark dance again.
The skies above the park are still filled with a thick black smoke.
