Multiple crews respond to sports hall fire

At 17:59 today (Wednesday), Dorset and Wiltshire Fire control took a 999 call to reports of smoke coming from the store room in a sports hall on Cranford Avenue in Weymouth.

Two fire crews from Weymouth, One from Portland and the Aerial Ladder Platform from Westbourne were mobilised alongside an officer.

On arrival the crews requested the attendance of the electricity board to help isolate the electrics.

The crews worked to ensure the fire was out and everything was safe.

During this incident, crews from Bridport and two crews from Dorchester provided fire cover in Portland, Weymouth and Dorchester.
