Candles cause fire at Hospice

Publication Date: Mon, 09 Dec 2013


Unattended candles caused a small fire at the Hospice yesterday.

Firefighters were called to the chapel area of the building in Strang just before 7pm.

The tealight candles had melted and caused a small fire to start which in turn had caused smoke logging.

The fire was extinguished using hand extinguishers and the area made safe within an hour.
