Firefighters tackle a thatch blaze at Romsey Road |
Station Manager Mickey Smither continued
"The owner of the property had taken all necessary precautions to reduce the risk of fire to her house which included installing a hard wired fire alarm system and having a double lined chimney flue. She had also recently attended one of our thatch information sessions held at the local fire station where she was given a Thatch Information Pack which includes practical advice about maintenance, preventative measures and what information can assist the fire service in the event of an incident" .
A fire investigation has been carried out and it was established that the cause of the fire was accidental and was as a result of sparks from a small fire in the garden of an adjacent property. A further re-inspection of the property will be carried out.
