Outdoor fire

A fire appliance from Danes Castle (Exeter) was mobilised following multiple calls from local residents reporting a large section of fencing on fire, on Emmanuel Road in Exeter, which quickly spread to a skip and a garage. As a result the initial attendance was soon increased by a further 3 fire appliances, mobilised from MIddlemoor and Clyst St George. 

This incident is now complete and was brought under control at 06:00hrs. Crews worked well to prevent the fire from spreading any further, using 2 breathing apparatus, 2 hose reel jets, a main attack jet, triple extension ladder, small tools and a thermal imaging camera to extinguish it. 15m of fencing were destroyed by fire, with the garage sustaining 20% fire damage and 10% by smoke.  There were no casualties and all crews have now left the scene.
