Property fire

Fire control received a call to a property on Rectory Way in the Lympsham area where there was a shed on fire with potential fire spread to a nearby house. 

Fire control mobilised 2 fire appliances from Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater along with 2 fire appliances from Weston-Super-Mare (Avon Fire and Rescue Service) along with an officer from Devon and Somerset and an officer from Avon.

Once crews were in attendance, they confirmed 1 external shed was fully alight and had spread to the roof space of an adjacent domestic property. Due to the incident escalating, on scene crews sent a make up message for additional pumps and a water bowser to attend. Control mobilised fire appliances from Cheddar and Taunton, a water bowser from Bridgwater, an Incident Command Unit from Street, an Incident Support Unit from Martock and multiple officers from the Somerset area.

Crews extinguished the fire using 4 Breathing apparatus, 5 jets, 2 thermal imaging camera, 1 ladder and safety at height equipment.

The roof is 50% damaged by fire, the first floor is 20% damaged by fire and smoke and 50% damaged by water, the ground floor sustained 20%  damaged.

This is believed to be accidental.
