Fire fighters responded to one two-storey, detached and unoccupied property that was well alight on their arrival. On arrival the crews utilised two main jets, one hose reel jet, and two breathing apparatus sets to extinguish the fire at the property.
Crews also utilised an aerial turntable appliance to extinguish the fire from above with crews finally leaving the scene at 8.51pm. As a result of the blaze, the property was severely damaged by the fire but no one was injured in the incident.
