Update on fire at Pink Punters nightclub – Milton Keynes

Dear Resident,

Following a joint investigation with Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service (BFRS) into the fire at Pink Punters on Sunday, we can announce that third party involvement has been ruled out, and the fire is believed to have been accidental.

We can confirm the 51-year-old man from Milton Keynes who was arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, has been eliminated from our enquiries.

We understand that an incident like this can be concerning for the local community, but we want to reassure people that following a thorough joint investigation with BFRS, we have found no evidence of any criminality.

The fire is believed to have been accidental in nature, and thankfully no one was injured. We would also like to commend the staff at Pink Punters, who worked quickly and effectively to ensure everyone was safely evacuated.

We would like to thank members of the community who came forward and assisted us with our enquiries. Their support and cooperation has been invaluable as we worked to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Kind Regards,
