Small Electrical Fire
Polgrean Place, St Blazey, near St Austell at 04/10/2011 20:45
Two fire appliances from Lostwithiel attended a report of a fire alarm sounding and smoke from a fuse box.
Firefighters extinguished a small electrical fire under the floor, in a three-storey block of flats, measuring 30 metres by 10 metres. Western Power Distribution engineers attended to isolate the electrical supply.
The firefighters were detained for a while, cutting away a ceiling to confirm that the fire had not spread.
