Residents praised for swift action following garden fire

Shortly before 10:30pm last night, crews from Red Watch and on-call crews from Western Station attended reports of a house fire in St Brelade.

On arrival, a large external fire threatening properties was swiftly dealt with by crews. Due to residents not hesitating to call 999, serious property damage was avoided.

Crew Commander, Dan Laurens would like to thank residents for evacuating their homes, and waiting in a safe location for crews to deal with the blaze.
