Fire crews tackled gorse fire early this morning

Crews from five fire stations across the Island have attended incidents throughout the morning.

At 1:30am three crews from down south attended a gorse fire in Cregneash, which was approximately 50 square metres and spreading rapidly.

The service was there for around 3 hours and investigations to determine the cause continue. 

Crews from Peel and Kirk Michael then responded to reports of someone trapped in a vehicle after a collision near the 11th Milestone at 6:30am.

The person in the vehicle had managed to free themselves before help arrived and was checked over by the Ambulance Service.
