One appliance from Wadebridge Fire Station attended a skip fire near to other property. The crew used two hosereels and one main jet to extinguish the fire. The cause is believed to be a BBQ that was carelessly disposed of into the skip.

Please make sure BBQ's are disposed of safely after use in this fine weather. Make sure disposable BBQ's are completely cooled and extinguished before putting in bins or skips. Further safety information attached.
