Friday, 2 June 2023 07:11

The Fire Service is asking people to consider the impact of their actions following a string of incidents.

In the space of 24 hours, crews from Douglas Station responded to a car fire, embankment fire, road collision, camper van fire, automatic fire alarms and incidents of public aid.

The service says as the Island gets busier with TT visitors, please stay safe and consider the impact of your actions on emergency services and supporting agencies.

It's added that attending non-emergency incidents can lead to resources becoming unavailable to attend real emergencies.
