Firefighters from Cheddar are among multiple crews who have been tackling a blaze in Edingworth today (October 3).
Just before 7.15am, Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Control received multiple phone calls reporting a fire at a property in Edingworth.
Fire engines from Burnham-on-Sea, Bridgwater, Weston-super-Mare and Cheddar were mobilised to the incident.
On arrival the crews confirmed that there was a fire located in the ground floor of the property and that all persons were accounted for.
Crews set to work with two breathing apparatus, one hose reel jet and one safety jet, and requested the attendance of the power company to isolate the electrics.
Fire crews requested a further two fire engines to support with breathing apparatus, which were mobilised from Bridgwater and Burnham-on-Sea, along with an Incident Command Unit from Street. An aerial ladder platform was also requested, which was mobilised from Bridgwater.
By 8.30am, two more fire engines were requested from Weston-super-Mare and Winscombe. Crews using six breathing apparatus wearers, two hose reel jets, one main jet, one fog spike and two safety jets were tackling the fire from inside the property and removed the roof tiles from the house.
At 1.30pm, the incident was still ongoing with fire engines in attendance from Weston-super-Mare, Winscombe and two relief fire engines from Minehead and Castle Cary, along with a heavy rescue vehicle from Glastonbury.
