Details

Crews were called to a well-developed fire on the ground floor of a semi-detached house in Northwich. Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus began tackling the blaze externally using a hose reel jet and a main jet. The fire was discovered to have spread to the roof space of a neighbouring property, and the aerial ladder platform was used to help extinguish the fire from above. Thermal imaging cameras were used to identify hotspots, which were dampened down, and roof tiles were removed to ensure the fire had been fully extinguished. Utility supplies were isolated to the affected properties, and all occupants were safely accounted for. An investigation into the cause is expected to take place shortly.
