Emergency services tackle 'demanding conditions' at property fire

Emergency Services were called out to a property fire at the weekend.

Crews from Ramsey, Kirk Michael, Laxey and Douglas were dispatched yesterday to the North of the Island.

When crews arrived they were faced with a rapidly developing fire which had taken hold on the ground floor - the intensity of the blaze meant officers had to work in very demanding conditions to tackle the flames.

All occupants (including pets) had managed to evacuate the property moments before the flames and smoke engulfed both the ground and first floors.

No-one was seriously hurt during the incident. 

Ongoing investigations are currently taking place to identify the cause of the fire.
