Dog rescue from house fire
The fire service were called by concerned neighbours who reported seeing smoke coming from the roof of a nearby house.
When fire crews arrived they found the first floor and roof space of the semi-detached property was completely alight.
Firefighters immediately checked to make sure no one was inside, and found a dog who they took outside to safety.
Fire crews got the fire surrounded and managed to extinguish it by 5pm.
Online Home Safety Check
Firefighters are encouraging everyone to complete the Online Home Safety Check to evaluate your own fire risk at home. The check will provide you with tailored advice and handy tips throughout to help reduce the risk of a fire in your home.
You can carry out a check for yourself, or any family members. Friends, neighbours, registered carers, support workers and partner agencies can all use this tool. In some cases, it may suggest that we attend your property to give in-person advice and fit smoke alarms if required.
