Block of flats evacuated after kitchen fire
A block of flats was evacuated yesterday following a kitchen fire on the fourth floor.
Two fire appliances from Greenbank, one from Camels Head and an aerial platform from Crownhill were mobilised.
The block of flats, on Lockyer Street, the Hoe, had to be evacuated while firefighters made the building safe.
A Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service spokesman said: “Crews used two sets of breathing apparatus, one hose reel jet and one main jet. The flat was ventilated using a positive pressure fan.”
It was confirmed that the fire was accidental. There were no injuries.
