Fire Control received several calls this evening to reports of a large fire in the Middlezoy area of Somerset.
On arrival, crews confirmed this to be an outbuilding fire, well alight. 2 hose reel jets were used to prevent the fire spreading before the Officer In Charge requested further assistance. 2 further fire engines and specialist appliances were sent to the location.
This was an outbuilding fire measuring approx 15m by 10m, used as a workshop. The fire was extinguished using 4 breathing apparatus wearers, 3 hose reel jets, 1 compressed air foam jet and 1 safety jet. The building sustained 80% fire damage. The cause was accidental and duty of care was left with the occupiers.
