Officers are asking people to find an alternate way in and out of Peel, and also stay off the heritage trail on the old railway line because of smoke.

Bus Vannin has also announced it's diverting services into Peel via Ballacraine and Poortown Road this afternoon, Wednesday, May 6.

Meanwhile the fire and rescue service is asking nearby residents to keep their windows closed and pets inside as it deals with the blaze.
