People rescued from Ramsey blaze

Fire crews rescued three people as they tackled a mass blaze in Ramsey in the early hours of this morning.

Appliances from Ramsey, Laxey, and Douglas went to the scene just before 5am on Sunday where there were fires across two properties and two cars were alight.

Three people were rescued from a first floor window of one of the properties whilst all others occupants had evacuated themselves.

In an operation that lasted around four hours, four separate teams dealt with several fires including in both properties, an electric intake and a shed.

All casualties were treated for smoke inhalation by the Isle of Man Ambulance service at the scene.

An investigation is now underway to determine the cause of the incident.
