Industrial Units Destroyed by Fire

Two industrial units have gone up in flames overnight.

At around 9:30PM last night fire crews were called to a blaze in Balthane Industrial Estate.

40 fire-fighters from Castletown, Port Erin and Douglas all rushed to the scene.

The fire was eventually extinguished at 01:30AM this morning.

There was difficulties trying to reach parts of the buildings due to fire damage so crews remained on scene throughout the night continuing to damp down and extinguish pockets of fire.

The cause of the fire is not yet known, an investigation will be launched when the scene has been declared safe.
