At 1233 this afternoon CFRS were called to a reported garage fire. Initially 2 appliances from Falmouth were sent to the incident followed by 1 appliance from Truro. On arrival a semi detached domestic garage was well alight. 2 fire-fighters wearing breathing apparatus using 1 hose reel cautiously fought the fire as there was a possibility of chemicals and gas cylinders within the garage.
Once the fire had been extinguished a small quantity of paint and 2 small gas cylinders were recovered from the 5m x 5m domestic garage. The adjoining garage also suffered from heat and smoke damage.
