Crews stop fire in terraced house spreading
Crews stopped a fire in a terraced house in Harwich from spreading to the adjoining properties.
We were called to Alexandra Street today (18 May) at 1.46am after a member of the public saw smoke coming from a mid-terrace house.
Crews from Dovercourt, Manningtree and Colchester extinguished the fire by 3.18am and used a fan to clear the smoke.
Station Manager Quentin Sage: "Crews did a brilliant job of stopping the fire spreading to the houses either side. If it wasn't for their swift actions, the fire would have reached the loft and affected two more properties.
