Vicarage Hill, Mevagissey at 03/12/2006 12:26

Firefighters from Mevagissey attended a report of a fire at the top of an electricity pole. The crew cordoned off the area and closed the minor road whilst electrical engineers responded. The pole was reported to be well alight but due to the high voltage cables, firefighters have been unable to extinguish the fire until the engineers are able to isolate the power. There is no risk of the fire spreading and now that the area is cordoned off, the public are not at risk.
