Two crews called to fire at home in Axbridge

Two crews were called to a fire at a home in Axbridge in the early hours of yesterday morning (September 27).

Just before 1.15am, a fire appliance from Cheddar and one from Burnham-on-Sea were sent to a report of a light fitting smoking in a property in Barnabas Close.

On arrival crews confirmed smoke coming from a light fitting in the downstairs hallway. To deal with the incident crews used two breathing apparatus, one hose reel jet, a safety jet, a thermal image camera, gas monitor and a dry powder extinguisher.
