Fire crews tackle fire in Ansty

At 1351 today Dorset & Wiltshire Fire Control received a call to a boiler fire at Ansty Village Hall.

Fire engines from Sturminster Newton, Blandford and Dorchester attended, with more assistance on the way from Yeovil incase an aerial appliance was required – but the Yeovil appliances were subsequently turned back prior to their arrival.

The fire in the boiler cupboard was believed to be involving electrical cables, and was extinguished by 2 firefighters in breathing apparatus, using 1 hose reel and a CO2 extinguisher.

A positive pressure ventilation fan was also used to ventilate the building.

The incident was all under control by 3pm
