The Terrace - Penryn at 03/07/2010 04:33

Crews from Falmouth were called to a property in Penryn in the early hours of this morning to a smell of burning.

Two appliances from Falmouth and a Wholetime Officer attended a property, where the occupier could smell burning which they thought could have been coming from their next door neighbour’s property.

On arrival crews investigated both properties and found a small fire in the loft of one of the properties. The fire was extinguished using a hose reel whilst wearing breathing apparatus.

The crews used a positive pressure ventilation fan to clear the smoke, from the property concerned.
