Firefighters called to battery fire

The fire and rescue service says it was called out to a flat fire caused by a rechargeable battery over the weekend.

Fire engines from Ramsey's station dealt with the incident during the evening on Saturday, March 21. 

Crews were there for around an hour, and the people inside had already made it out when they arrived. 

Firefighters say it's a reminder to use the right charger for batteries, and not overcharge or leave them plugged in overnight.
