Crews attended smoke issuing from a property, with a shop on the ground floor and a flat above. Crews found a fire on the ground floor at the rear of the property and got to work with 2 breathing apparatus and 1 hose reel jet to put the fire out. Ambulance were requested for one male who had inhaled smoke at the scene. Crews administered oxygen therapy until their arrival.
The fire was extinguished, and crews confirmed the fire as accidental, caused by a halogen lamp. Positive pressure fan was used to clear the property of the smoke, which sustained moderate damage. A thermal imaging camera was also used to check for fire spread and hot spots.
