Fire breaks out at Oxford cinema

A fire broke out on the Odeon cinema on George Street last Sunday morning.
The fire is thought to have began when a motor in the projector room caught fire.

Two fire crews were called to the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning. However, cinema staff managed to extinguish the fire in the projection room shortly before the fire-fighters arrived.

No serious damage was sustained to the building, and the cinema was able to open as normal the same day.
