Three fire engines and an aerial ladder platform was mobilised following calls to Control reporting a fire, which was thought to be in the roof area of a domestic property. Upon arrival crews confirmed the fire was located on the first floor balcony, saying that the oncoming aerial ladder platform was not required.
Throughout the incident crews used the following equipment:
- Two hose reel jets
- One safety jet
- Two breathing apparatus
- Three thermal image cameras
- One triple extension ladder
- Small tools
Neighbouring properties were checked to ensure the fire had not spread and advise was given to the occupant. The cause is believed to be accidental.
