Fire in Colby

Fri, 13 Jan 2012

Fire crews are advising that home electrical installations should be tested every ten years.

It comes after a fire in a garage in Colby this morning.

Firefighters were called out just after 11 o'clock, although when they arrived the occupant had managed to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.

A fuse box in the garage was completely destroyed.

It's advised that electrical installations are checked at least every ten years and people are asked to consider fitting a heat or smoke detector in their garage.
