Rushen fire crews attend smoke-logged property

Fire crews from the South were called to an address in Port Erin last night.

The Fire and Rescue Service posted to Facebook to say Rushen Fire Station received a call to attend Ballafurt Road, where an alarm was sounding.

When crews arrived the occupants had evacuated and found the cause to be an item left on a cooking hob, filling the property with smoke.

A positive pressure ventilation fan was used to clear the smoke - the Fire Service added this again highlights the importance of working smoke alarms.
